    112. How Language Made Us Human: The History of Language

    Put on your science pants Smoke Circle! KT is bringing us across the season six finish line with the brief history of language--from the first sounds of hominids to the formations of grammar to how culture shapes language around the world and how it is ever-evolving and changing year by year. We love a topic in which science and history shake hands and take us all on a hazy trip leaving us going "whoa dude...that was deep." We will be back again for season seven on February 6th, 2026!

    111. How to Start a War with Michael Trapani

    It's our penultimate episode of season 6 and we've got an amazing guest to share it with! Author, podcaster and all around kick ass dude, Michael Trapani, joins the Smoke Circle to talk about his gripping book "How to Start a War: The Rise of Extremism, the Fall of Democracy and the Lead Up to World War II" Like many major world events, World War II has many smaller events that lead to the flash bang moments that get etched into our history books. Michael's book is all about those layers. Together we talk about the power of the common person, what happens when decisions are made out of fear and that, yes, Nazi High Command really was hopped up on drugs all the damn time. ~~~~* Check out what Michael's Doing!

    The History of Dragons Around the World

    It's episode 110 and KT is bringing her deep love of dragons to the Smoke Circle! While you might think dragons are more likely to be found in fantasy novels and mythology books than in the pages of history, KT explores the cultural significance of dragons across various civilizations, touching on creation myths and the role of dragons in both chaos and order. We'll be talking about the rich symbolism and cultural significance of dragons across different civilizations, particularly contrasting Eastern and Western perspectives as well as how dragons are perceived as benevolent forces in Eastern cultures, while in the West, they often symbolize greed and destruction. So join us for a fun adventure (maybe we'll meet Puff the Magic Dragon along the way?? Wiiiiiink!)~~~~~~~~~* The Socials and Patreon!

    109. The Code Talkers

    They were told not to speak their language. Those respective languages helped win wars and save countless lives. In episode 109, Laurel takes the Smoke Circle through the incredible story of the Indigenous code talkers of World War I and II--the Navajo, Comanche, and other Native American men whose voices became unbreakable codes in the Pacific and European fronts. Their history is a story of courage and cultural resilience. ~~~~~* The Socials and Patreon!

    Yuck: The Weird and Wondrous History of the Iconic Joshua Tree

    Welcome to a bonus episode in which Kt and Laurel have award winning author, screenwriter and essayist, Barret Baumgart, in the Smoke Circle. Together we discuss his newest book Yuck: The Birth and Death of the Weird and Wondrous Joshua Tree, Yucca Brevifolia. You might not believe it, but the Joshua Tree has a strange little part to play when recounting the history of the American West and Westward Expansion and Barret is here to tell us about it.In addition to Yuck, he has also authored some more strange nonfiction--China Lake, his debut novel, is about one of the strangest places in America: China Lake, which is the US Navy's largest single landholding. The top secret base researches and develops about 85% of the country's weapons and armaments...and sits on top of THOUSANDS of Native American pictographs.He is currently working on a book that might take the care in "weird"--the history of the United State's worst nuclear disaster in Los Angeles in 1959 (no! It's not Three Mile Island! I know! We were shocked too!) that was covered up by the government until the late 1970s and the land is now owned by Boeing....so....nothing weird at all. We had a blast having Barret on the show! Please check out his Substack and his books, especially if you love your history on the weird side! We will be back in two weeks with episode 109, back on track for the rest of the season! ~~~~~~~~~~~*Barret's Website Barret's Substack "Dumpster Fires" Barret's Instagram Profile Buy Barret's Books Here! ~~~~~~~* Intro/outro music: "Loopster" by Kevin MacLeod (⁠incompetech.com⁠) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

    107. Red Tails Rising: The Tuskegee Airmen Story

    Welcome to 107! In this episode, we take flight into the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, America's first Black military aviators. We will explore the challenges these brave individuals faced, both in combat and at home, and highlight their significant contributions to World War II and beyond. Our discussion also touches on broader themes of racial equality and the ongoing fight for recognition and respect. Keywords Tuskegee Airmen, World War II, racial equality, Black military aviators, history podcast Takeaways The Tuskegee Airmen were America's first Black military aviators. They faced racism both abroad and at home while serving in World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen flew over 15,000 missions during the war. Their success helped pave the way for desegregation in the U.S. military. The Tuskegee Airmen were collectively awarded a Congressional Gold Medal in 2007. Their legacy continues to inspire future generations of aviators. The Tuskegee Airmen's story highlights the ongoing struggle for racial equality. Their achievements debunked myths about the capabilities of Black service members. Their story is a testament to courage, resilience, and the fight for justice. ~~~~~* The Socials and Patreon!
