    Pinks Are the New Black

    Kate Warne might not be a name that you're familiar with, but without her, this country would look very different. Certainly, there might not even be a "United" States at all. Join me as I explore how one woman revolutionized an entire industry, proved the many merits of her gender, and saved a President from dying before he could ever set foot in the White House.

    Justice for Rock Doves

    Rats with Wings. Flying Disease Carriers. These are just two of the unjust names given to Pigeons today. But for centuries, Pigeons were humanity's constant companions and messengers. Today I set the record straight, providing some of the history of these magnificent birds. Maybe next time you see a pigeon, you'll have just a bit more sympathy for it.

    Strength Knows No Gender

    She's been called several names and been the inspiration for even more. Her name was Khutulun, and she lived her life on her own terms. Not bad for a woman from the late 13th Century living in the Mongol Empire. Men challenged her for the right to marry her, but none succeeded. Find out just how she managed to avoid betrothal for much of her life on this, the first episode of Season 2!

    The Ballad of the Gentleman Bandit

    They called him Black Bart. He was one of the most prolific outlaws in the days of the Wild West. And the most polite. His calling card was that of a series of poems he left behind. Thanks to the numerous other stories that come out of the Old West, it's likely you've never heard his name. But his story is the kind that inspires songs.   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45673388

    Shakey Foundations

    Buildings are more than just places to live or work or congregate. They are physical manifestations of humanity's creativity, ingenuity, and determination to leave something permanent. Each and every place where humans have built things has a story to be told. In this episode, I explore some of the interesting places where the buildings have a secret or two to share.
