Riches and Ruin: Bonnie and Clyde and the Rise and Fall of the Barrow Gang. Part 2. Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

When we left our story last week the young outlaws had been separated by iron bars once again. This time though it was Bonnie who had been arrested. After Cylde's plan to stage a breakout of the Eastham Prison had gone disastrously wrong, the couple had ended up cornered in a Texas riverbank, hunted down by a posse of locals looking for justice against the thieves. Clyde had then made a fateful choice to abandon Bonnie to the authorities and make his own escape.

We pick back up with her waiting in a cell in Kaufman, Texas and hoping that Cylde would come through on his promise to rescue her from the unknown fate that lay ahead.

Riches and Ruin: Bonnie and Clyde and the Rise and Fall of the Barrow Gang. Part 1. Jan 27, 2023

Show notes

They were known across the country by their first names - Bonnie and Clyde. Their story of romance, danger, and murder had captivated the nation while they were on the run.

But how does a young couple, both barely out of their teenage years, rise to such a level of national infamy - I mean still to this day they are glamorized in movies, shows, pop culture almost 100 years later? And why exactly was their spree of robbery and murder something that so many in the depression south latched onto and identified with so strongly?

Part one is the story of Bonnie and Clyde and the Rise and Fall of the Barrow Gang.

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Part 5 "The End" Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

When we left the series last week, we'd almost reached the end of the road for John Wilkes Booth and David Harold. After 10 days on the run the net had started to tighten around them, and the pair were rapidly moving closer to the infamous Garrett farm, where the final confrontation between the killers and the manhunters would take place.

In this episode we will play out Booth's final days on the run before talking about the trials for the other conspirators and finally end with the nation's collective mourning for the fallen president.

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Part 4 "The Chase" Jan 06, 2023

Show notes

When we left our series last week in Part 3, two members of John Wilkes Booth's gang had not managed to make it out of the city following their own failed assassination attempts on the Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward. Meanwhile the city of Washington had fallen into chaos as public celebrations for the end of the war had turned into angry mobs.

But Booth himself, along with his guide David Harold, has slipped through the grip of the pursuing crowds and disappeared into the Maryland night. After briefly stopping in Surrattsville, the pair had traveled through the night until they arrived at the doorstep of Dr. Samuel Mudd. This is the place where we will pick back up this week for our second to last episode in this series - with the fugitives walking on the morning of April 15th still free men.

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Part 3 "The Failures" Dec 30, 2022

Show notes

When we last left the story we had skipped back in time to meet John Wilkes Booth's co-conspirators - Lewis Powell (who changed his name to Lewis Payne), David Harold, George Azerodt, and John Surratt. These men had each found their way into Booth's plans years earlier, and they had stuck with him through multiple failed attempts to kidnap the president.

We will now jump back into that bloody night of April 14th and follow the fate of these would-be killer's and their targets (which included other members of Lincoln's cabinet) as the rest of the events of the night played out with dramatic results.

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Part 2 "The Plot" Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

After Lincoln passed away, the country reacted with a combination of shock and grief that exploded into a furious public search to find his killer. That manhunt is going to be the focus of our final episode in the series, but this week let's move back in time a bit.

We are going to introduce you to the group of co-conspirators who surrounded John Wilkes Booth. Along with Booth himself, we explore their individual histories, plotting prior to the assassination attempts, and show how Booth changed from a failed kidnapper to his final role as the assassin who would take down the president.

Cleopatra: Lost and (maybe) found Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

In this episode we take a look at the recent discovery at Taposiris Magna in Egypt, and the possibility that the greatest archeological find since King Tut might be waiting in the very near future, Cleopatra's grave.

It's like an ancient soap opera, filled with politics, sex, rivalries, wars, gossip, every player trying to play chess to outwit their opponents but we take a stab at trying to separate fact and myth from the Queen - whose story of power, betrayal, and love has captured the world's imagination for 2,000 years.

Show notes

In 1942 with France already fallen and Nazi Germany tightening their grip on the remaining free countries of Europe, the British drew up plans for a daring operation to spy on Hitler's movement across the Mediterranean by burying six men alive, deep inside the rock of Gibraltar, with the possibility that they would never come out.

In this episode we tell the story of that wild plan, hatched in the darkest days of the war.
