    Teddy Roosevelt's "Race Suicide" Fears (1903) w/ Andrew Porwancher

    It's 1903. This day, Teddy Roosevelt is visiting Ellis Island amid a fierce conversation about American immigration policy. Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Andrew Porwancher of Arizona State to discuss how Roosevelt's views on immigration were always shifting, from a humanitarian instinct to electoral concerns to scientific ideas about racial superiority. They also discuss the blunt language used around race and immigration at the time, including Roosevelt's fears that the "right" kind of immigrants were commiting "race suicide." Andrew's new book is "American Macabee: Theodore Roosevelt and The Jews." It's available now!

    The Obamacare Website Crashes On Day One (2013)

    It's October 13th. This day in 2013, the healthcare.gov website is a total fiasco.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why the website was so broken, the blame game that ensued, and the lessons about implementation found in the website's sordid tale.

    "We Didn't Start The Fire's" Crash Course In History (1989)

    It's October 2nd. This day in 1989, Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire," which name-checks a ton of events that took place from the 50s through the 80s, is rocketing up the charts. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why Joel felt compelled to write the song, some of the more obscure references in the song -- and whether they are buying Joel's historical argument presented in the song.
