1001 PODCAST SPECIAL MESSAGE TO LISTENERS MAY-JUNE 2019 May 05, 2019

Show notes

Chief "One Man Wearing Many Hats" is asking for your support and we're giving back in return! We have added two new 1001 shows as bonus incentives for Patreon supporters:

BEST OF 1001 (available to $1 /month supporters and up) and PRIME CUTS (available to 2.99/mo supporters and up). Most of BEST OF 1001 AND ALL OF PRIME CUTS will be AD-FREE. We give the whole story of these exciting new bonus shows at our Patreon page. https://www.patreon.com/1001storiesnetwork

We are asking for your support at Patreon to help us as an independent network compete with the powerful multi-show podcast houses that are literally buying up the market and available rankings. We need your support in addition to our sponsor support to remain competitive in this rapidly expanding market and industry. We will remain independent through the life of this show.

One big reason we will remain unattached to the podcast mainstream is that we avoid political correctness and try to present history as it really was without trying to apply today's cultural madness to yesterday's heroes and events- and we don't allow political correctness to decide who should be heroes and who shouldn't. We also keep our show clean and family friendly (our two favorite F words).

If you would like to pledge a dollar a month or more here is the link:https://www.patreon.com/1001storiesnetwork

THE LAST NIGHT ON THE TITANIC Apr 14, 2019

Show notes

1001 Heroes launches a full series on the sinking of the Titanic beginning with an exclusive author interview with Veronica Hinke, whose new book "The Last Night On The Titanic" is already climbing the best seller lists.

It was April 14th, 1912-exactly 107 years ago from the date of this release- and 2, 224 passengers and crew aboard the RMS Titanic were having the time of their lives, from the first class deck to steerage, enjoying the best of international cuisine on the most luxurious cruise ship ever built. When the celebration turned to panic- then horror-many were sure they would never see the morning sun. The stories of heroism, love, and the will to survive have become the stuff of legend.

Keep an eye out for THE MYSTERIES OF THE TITANIC here at 1001 Heroes- coming next week, and watch Wednesday nights for THE LOSS OF THE RMS TITANIC by James Beasley- who survived the sinking and wrote a book giving his eyewitness account.

1001 STORIES FOR THE ROAD PREVIEW: TREASURE ISLAND (CHAPTERS 1-3) by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Apr 07, 2019

Show notes

A swashbuckling adventure for all ages! PART I—"THE OLD BUCCANEER"

An old sailor, calling himself "the captain," real name Billy Bones, comes to lodge at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the West English coast during the mid-18th-century, paying the innkeeper's son, Jim Hawkins, a few pennies to keep a lookout for Long John Silver "a one-legged seafaring man." A former shipmate with intact legs, but lacking two fingers, shows up to confront Billy about sharing his treasure map. After running the stranger off in a violent fight, Billy, who drinks far too much rum, has a stroke and tells Jim that his former shipmates covet his map to buried treasure. After a visit from an evil blind man named Pew who gives him "the black spot" as a summons to share the treasure map, Billy has another stroke and dies;

Next week: Jim and his mother (his father has also died just a few days before) unlock the sea chest, finding some money, a journal, and the map. The local physician, Dr. Livesey and the district squire, Trelawney, deduce that the map is of the island where a deceased pirate, Captain Flint buried his treasure. Squire Trelawney proposes buying a ship and going after the treasure, taking Livesey as ship's doctor and Jim as cabin boy.

1001 HEROES SPECIAL EPISODE:: ESSAY CONTEST WINNER YELLOW JOURNALISM Mar 28, 2019

Show notes

When Sewickley Academy History professor Mike Caesario contacted 1001 and asked if we could participate in their annual chapter studies on Yellow Journalism we jumped at the chance-and agreed to pick a winner from the essays and read it on our show. The entries were all excellent and provided thesis statements and supporting examples from the story of William Randolph Hearst's attempts to sway public opinion against Spain by disseminating non-facts regarding the explosion of the USS Maine in the Havana Harbor in order to foment a war- as well as confirming the need to get both sides of every story in the news.. Hearst and Pulitzer were locked in a battle for dominance in the newspaper industry and their continual display of journalistic malfeasance came to head during this crisis.

THE FLYING TIGERS (PT 2) Mar 17, 2019

Show notes

Part two-Led by Claire Chennault, the Flying Tigers were a group of American pilots who originally signed as mercenaries for China in 1941 to fight Japanese aggression in China and Burma. Chennault had worked to build China's air force since 1937 when the Japanese invaded China and seized Shanghai and Nanking, but finally received help from FDR in 1941 in the form of planes and pilots. Chennault had the answer for the fast Japanese Zero plane- but it would take training and discipline to make sure his men learned it. When they did, it provided the first good news since the invasion of Pearl Harbor and listed American and Chinese morale. Voices AVG Cols Tex Hikk, Ed Rector, Dick Rossi. East Asia Media.
