Cool Sh*t: The Podcast

Nate Hinchey

Cool Sh*t: The Podcast is a show about interesting topics from science, history, the arts, and more. In other words, if it fascinates me--I’m going to talk about it. I know that the world can sometimes seem like an awfully depressing place, but trust me when I say, there’s some pretty cool sh*t out there.

    Episode 8: The Arrest of a President

    Can the President of the United States be arrested?

    Do you want $10 million? Then go find the 13 pieces of art that were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. True, no one has seen hide nor hair of them in almost 30 years, but I'm sure you can do better than the FBI. Oh, and I'm also sure you definitely won't get killed like a few other people who have poked their nose where it didn't belong. Ready to get started?

    Episode 5: The Siege of Boston

    We all know how the story of the American Revolution starts--Paul Revere, the lamps in the Old North Church, and the battles of Lexington and Concord. But what happens in the sequel? Boston, like an ex-Navy SEAL who just wants to live peacefully as a cook, comes under siege. For eleven months, the British and the Continental Army stare each other down--spying, sniping, skirmishing, and drinking. A whole lot of drinking. The siege of Boston was the first true test of General George Washington and the fledgling cause of American liberty.
