    Softcore History

    A podcast for the casual fan of history. The Wikipedia reader. The kids who grew up with a dad who watched the same 10 hours of World War II specials on The History Channel. Join Dan Regester, Rob Fox, and a weekly guest as they tastefully insert themselves into the past. The only thing we don’t show is our research.

    The Pacific Theater Was A Nightmare Mar 09, 2026
    Show notes

    Maybe we don't talk about the Pacific Theater in World War 2 as much as we should because we don't want to acknowledge how gross it actually was. The Battle of Peleliu is arguably the best example of how foul it was. Unspeakable war crimes, temperatures exceeding 110 degrees, crabs eating dead bodies that had exploded from the heat, human mutilation by normal men who'd been broken by the savagery of the battle. Peleliu might have been literal hell.

    The Japanese Ate A Lot of People In WW2 Feb 23, 2026
    Show notes

    The Japanese committed a lot of war crimes in World War II but cannibalism wasn’t one of them, though only because cannibalism wasn’t technically a war crime because no one thought to make a rule against it. Still, Imperial Japanese soldiers practiced cannibalism more than you would think, and NOT because of a lack of food. We talk about the instances Japanese soldiers ate Allied troops both as an act of psychological warfare and because they believed it would bring them strength.

    The Meanest Mormon in History Jan 26, 2026
    Show notes

    Porter Rockwell was many things. A man with three wives and twenty-one children, a lawman, and one of the OG Mormons. But above all he was the early Mormon church’s muscle. Their enforcer. And he had no compunction about killing for church leaders like Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
