Jimmy Carter - Kelly's Birthday Special! Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

It's Kelly's Birthday (ish), and that means the content is up to here. We're breaking our number one rule and covering a living Great Mind... President Jimmy Carter.
Kelly walks us through the life, career, and legacy of a truly Great Mind, President and Humanitarian Jimmy Carter. We discuss his political rise to the presidency, his fall from office, and his stellar post-presidency!
A wonderful chat on a wonderful human being, who I am now all the more curious about!
Cheers!

From Thanksgiving to "Franksgiving" Again! Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

Hello Great Minds!
I decided to spice up the Thanksgiving Special with a Pumpkin Ale, a little more history, and a revisiting of the rich history of American Thanksgiving.
From Pilgrims to Political Scandals to Mary and her little lamb, the history of this holiday is truly something to be thankful for... So, have a listen, and at the very least, you'll know more than everyone else at the table!
Cheers!

The Fourteenth Amendment - Cullen's Birthday Special! Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

It's Cullen's Birthday (ish), and that means the content is up to him, which is the only world in which the DGMH Rule on chatting political stuff can get broken... but only a little, as we chat about the 14th Amendment!
Everything from the Civil War and Reconstruction to Civil Rights to Selective Incorporation... we kept it short, sweet, and to the point.
Cheers!

Pat Summitt - Shari's Birthday Special! Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

It's Shari's Birthday (is), and that means the content is up to here, which is the only world where Mr. DGMH ends up talking about Sports!
Shari walks us through the life, career, and legacy of a truly Great Mind, Lady Vols Coach Pat Summit. We discuss her coaching, the psychology behind it, and Alzheimer's Disease.
I would have never even known about her, if not for this, and what a Great story it was... Here's hoping you enjoy it to!
Cheers!

Witches, Witch Trials, and the Wizard of Oz Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

Boo... It's not Tuesday, Happy Halloween to all my Great Minds!
Mr. DGMH decided to "spook up" his Halloween Special with about ten minutes of new content on Witches, Wizards, and more! From the Salem Witch Trials to Germany and Scotland, to the Wizard of Oz, Witches were a key part of Early Modern Society... and they were not well-liked!
So, join me for a little return to Witches, King James I, and more...
Cheers!

Just quick update and a drink, of course with a little added history for you...

And, for some reason I started rambling about the National Weather Service... how thrilling!
