    Episode 20 - The Home of the Brave

    Today's episode is the conclusion of the Fred Korematsu story. After losing his Supreme Court case in 1944, Fred went into a life of obscurity...until a conversation with a young girl in 1967 started Fred back on the journey to right the wrongs bestowed against him, and Japanese American people...and to stop America from making the same mistakes again.

    Episode 1 of Dark Shadows - Why, FDR...WHY?

    On this very first episode of Dark Shadows, Why FDR, WHY? We're taking a deep dive into what led Franklin Roosevelt to make the decision to intern an entire ethnic population of the USA, treated them like criminals, locked them up like animals, and removed their civil liberties. Yes, I’ll be tackling the internment of the Japanese Americans during world war two in the United States and just how and why a Government could turn on its’ own citizens in the supposed land of the free.  Are you ready for the deep dive?  Excellent...here we go...

    Episode 19 - The Land of the Free?

    Fred Korematsu was a law abiding, loyal citizen of the United States. He held no criminal record and loved his homeland so much so, that he wanted to don a uniform to defend her. So, why then did his country turn on him and treat him like a criminal? Convicting him, incarcerating him, interring him, and leaving him with a criminal record? Fred would spend a lifetime trying to defend the injustice bestowed against him, and the thousands of others in his position.

    Episode 18 - The Pendulum Swings

    Today's story is something very different to the norm, and as of 24 hours ago, completely unplanned. The episode that should have aired today hit a curve ball at the 11th hour, and so, not wanting to disappoint, I have put today's episode together instead. Like I said, it's very different to my normal episodes, but I do hope that you enjoy it...

    In June 2016, 20-year-old Michael Sandford from sleepy, rural Dorking, Surrey, UK had made an epic journey of over 5000 miles in total, on a mission. Michael was known for how polite, articulate, kind, compassionate, and sweet he was. So, how did this sweet young man go on to almost change the course of history with an attempted crime that aimed to murder one of the most influential people in the Western World?

    Episode 16 - What Goes Around...

    Arek Hersh was a 10 year old boy when he was taken from his family and thrust into a terrifying world. He was beaten and starved, he ate grass and chewed on his shoes to abate hunger. He was worked almost to death, toiling for long hours in often sub-zero temperatures. He lived in this perpetual hell for years…until, one day, he was randomly chosen for an experimental project in another country. And this project would go onto have repercussions that would benefit society today, and change the way child development is conducted across the world.

    Episode 15 - 4 Days of Hell

    18 year-old Kelsey Smith was at her local Target store in Kansas buying a present for her boyfriend. She called her mother and told her she'd be home soon...but Kelsey never returned home. The Police, the FBI, and the whole community were soon searching for Kelsey. Everyone, in fact, was trying to help the Smith family find their daughter...everyone except the one company that had the ability to find her. Kelsey's disappearance would start a campaign that would tackle head-on one of the largest corporations in America, and ultimately, change the way law enforcement is conducted in the USA today.
