    Extra Credit: Thanksgiving…The Turkey, The Lies, The Leftovers of History

    What if I told you that the Thanksgiving story we all grew up with—the Pilgrims, the feast, the peaceful gathering—was a lie? No, not just a little fib. We’re talking revisionist history with a side of cranberry sauce. On this extra credit episode Thanksgiving: The Turkey, the Lies, and the Leftovers of History, we’re serving up the raw, unfiltered truth behind America’s most celebrated feast. It’s a story of survival, betrayal, stolen land, and… propaganda. From the mass devastation of Indigenous populations to the shady deals that landed the Pilgrims in Plymouth, this isn’t the Thanksgiving tale your textbooks wanted you to know

    S3 E25: Operation Paperclip (w/ Noah Kinsey)

    *Season 3 Finale* Operation Paperclip (aka Project Paperclip) was a program run by the US military to allow high ranking Nazi scientists to work in America after the fall of the Third Reich. None of these scientists (who contributed to slave labor, the holocaust, and human experimentation) were ever brought up on War Crimes charges. In fact, most were given a comfortable and lucrative life working in the US. On the other hand, the United States developed into the most technologically advanced society in the world, due in part to the work of these scientists. Looking for a moral/ethical conundrum? Here ya go... Join us for our Season 3 Finale with very special guest Noah Kinsey as we discuss the lasting effects of this dark time in US history.
