    The Bitter History of Chocolate

    What's better than holiday hot chocolate? If just thinking about it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, well – that’s by design. Chocolate's big history sweeps across the globe, and today we’re going on that journey: from the pre–Columbus Americas, to an early 20th century reporter’s hunch about what cocoa production really takes, to a 21st century medical student’s story about his childhood on a farm that produces those holiday treats. Guests:Carla Martin, lecturer in African and African American Studies at Harvard University and President of the Board of the Institute for Cacao and Chocolate Research Catherine Higgs, professor of history at the University of British Columbia in Canada Shadrack Frimpong, founder of Cocoa360 We’ve got a favor to ask: We know there are a lot of great NPR shows out there.. but we all know who's the best.  NPR is celebrating the best  podcasts of the year, and YOU get to crown the winner of the People’s Choice Award.

    Tuskegee Experiment: The Infamous Syphilis Study

    Between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. government conducted one of the most shocking medical scandals in American history — the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. For forty years, 399 Black men in Alabama were deceived, denied treatment, and used as test subjects while doctors withheld penicillin — even after it became the standard cure. In this episode of American Scandal Report by Skoob, host OZ Dalton uncovers the truth behind the Tuskegee Experiment, the medical racism that allowed it to continue, the ethical violations that shocked the nation, and the long-term impact on trust in the American healthcare system. This is more than a history lesson — it’s a deep dive into government betrayal, bioethics failures, institutional racism, and the lasting consequences of medical deception. Before we dive in, don’t forget you can access all our shows, bonus content, and exclusive deep-dive episodes on the Skoob App and through https://linktr.ee/skoob.ai .

    The Last Years of the Atlantic Slave Trade: A Global Tragedy

    All the ads you hear in War Combat Stories are placed at the very beginning of every episode, because War Combat Stories believes the experience should never be interrupted once the story begins. Those first moments support War Combat Stories so the voices of warriors, the decisions of commanders, and the memories of the vietnam war or the pain left by the civil war can be heard without distractions. When you press play on War Combat Stories, you step into stories shaped by legacy, marked by the korean war, remembered through world war 2, carried from world war 1, lived by the navy, the air force, and defined by the long shadow of the cold war. There is a feeling people recognize the moment they listen to War Combat Stories. It’s the moment you realize the warriors in these stories were once ordinary people, the commanders were forced to choose without knowing the outcome, and the vietnam war felt endless to those inside it. The civil war divided more than land, it divided hearts, and every sacrifice became part of a legacy someone still carries today. In War Combat Stories, the korean war is not forgotten, world war 2 is not distant, world war 1 is not silent, and the lives shaped by the navy, the air force, and the pressure of the cold war begin to feel close, almost personal. As you continue listening to War Combat Stories, the stories of warriors and commanders begin to sound familiar in ways you didn’t expect. The fear felt during the vietnam war, the division of the civil war, the weight of legacy, the uncertainty of the korean war, and the sacrifices of world war 2 and world war 1 all reflect emotions people still live today. In War Combat Stories, the strength of the navy, the courage of the air force, and the tension of the cold war remind you that conflict is not only history, it is part of the human experience. People return to War Combat Stories because the voices of warriors feel real, the stories of commanders feel human, and the memories of the vietnam war and the civil war feel closer than expected. Every episode of War Combat Stories carries a legacy, remembers the korean war, honors world war 2, reflects on world war 1, and shares the journeys of the navy, the missions of the air force, and the lasting tension of the cold war. By the time an episode of War Combat Stories ends, something changes inside you. The warriors no longer feel distant, the commanders no longer feel unreachable, and the stories of the vietnam war, the civil war, the legacy left behind, the korean war, world war 2, world war 1, the navy, the air force, and the cold war all come together in a way that makes you understand why these stories still matter. That is why listeners return to War Combat Stories, again and again, because War Combat Stories is where history breathes, where memories speak, and where every story lives on inside War Combat Stories.

    Ep 89: Israel (Part 4)

    In the final episode of our Israel series, we bring together the remaining evidence and arguments relied upon by researchers who believe Israel may have played a role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. We revisit Jack Ruby through the lens of his alleged connections to Mickey Cohen and Meyer Lansky, examine the operational capabilities of the Mossad in the early 1960s, and explore newly declassified material touching on Israel’s involvement in covert operations related to Cuba. We also analyze claims involving Cuban exile foreknowledge, including the Homer Echeverria file, and address allegations surrounding Israeli intelligence ties to Oliver Stone’s film JFK. After weighing motive, means, opportunity, and the available evidence, we assess whether the case against Israel holds up under scrutiny.  Patreon - Patreon.com/solvingJFK Twitter - https://twitter.com/solvingjfk  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solvingjfk  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solvingjfkpodcast  Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@solvingjfk  Transcripts and Sources - https://www.solvingjfkpodcast.com Our Sponsors: * Check out Mood and use my code JFK for a great deal: https://mood.com * Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    El Chapo Part 6: Hollywood Comes Calling

    It’s late 2014, and El Chapo is finally back behind bars. The prison he’s in has a reputation as a fortress - it’s even more secure than the last one. But if anyone’s going to have a crack at busting out, it’s Chapo Guzmán. Specially trained diggers hatch a plan for one of the most audacious prison breaks in history. Back at large, the sensible move is to lay low in the mountains. But Chapo can’t resist the limelight. He prepares for a sit-down. Not with his lawyers or the cops, but with the Hollywood actor Sean Penn. For ad-free listening, exclusive content and early access to new episodes, join Noiser+.

    El Chapo Part 5: Cornered on the Coast

    The DEA agents make a huge breakthrough in the investigation, when a routine wiretap in Arizona unexpectedly leads them to El Chapo’s personal cell phone. Monitoring his personal communications, they get to know their target intimately. The Mexican marines begin the process of rounding up Chapo’s henchmen. Each arrest gets them closer to the boss himself. Until, finally, a dawn raid in the resort town of Mazatlán yields the ultimate prize.
