    Bass Reeves Pt2

    We return to Bass Reeves the baddest Marshall in US history.  We see a couple examples of frontier police work; one leaves us feeling some shade one should be a movie. Along the way we see warrants served on the craziest named cast of characters l've seen since Roger Rabbit.  Was a woman murdered because she was a state's witness? Or was it because her daughter had heard enough of her mouth? Maybe both! Ride with us this week as we talk law with marshal Reeves.  Deanjernigancomedy@gmail.com. Deanjernigancomedy.com.

    The Secret History of Chemo Pt1

    Host Dean Jernigan welcomes guest Kara Bultman of the Hobby Hoe Club, as he introduces a WWII medical story tied to the origins of chemotherapy, stemming from a poison-gas-related accident the government tried to conceal. The episode sets the scene in Bari, Italy, in 1943 lax blackout conditions and a party atmosphere before a surprise German air raid devastated the harbor, destroyed ships and cargo, caused thousands of casualties. Dean then profiles Lt. Col. Stuart Francis Alexander, a young physician recruited into Chemical Warfare Services, or should we say DOCTOR AMERICA!  Possibly THE most accomplished American to ever wear a uniform.

    The Jugurthine War Pt2

    In episode three of The History Pot, the host finishes the Jugurthine War, framing Rome’s struggle as a “Vietnam”-style guerrilla conflict. Massiva’s bid for Numidia is cut short when Jugurtha has him assassinated in Rome, leading to Jugurtha’s expulsion and renewed war. Spurius Albinus leaves his brother Aulus in command; Aulus disastrously pursues Jugurtha, is trapped, surrenders, and his army is humiliated under the yoke. Quintus Caecilius Metellus restores discipline, defeats Jugurtha in battle. Marius wins the consulship, reforms recruitment by enlisting the poor with state-supplied gear and retirement promises, campaigns harshly, and with Sulla negotiates King Bocchus’s betrayal: Jugurtha is delivered in chains, taken to Rome, paraded in triumph, and ceremonially strangled.  Host Dean Jernigan.  Deanjernigancomedy.com , Deanjernigancomedy@gmail.com

    The Jugurthine War Pt1

    Dean Journeagan hosts episode two of The History Pot on the Jugurthine War, a North African conflict in Numidia that helped spark rivalry between Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla. He outlines Numidia’s geography and its famed light cavalry, then traces the royal succession after Massinissa: Micipsa raises his nephew Jugurtha.  Sensing a snake in the grass, he sends Juggurtha to war hopefully never to return!  When he does return, he tries to contain His famous nephew by dividing the kingdom among Jugurtha and his sons Adherbal and Hiempsal. Jugurtha murders one and sends the other on the run.  Acient family fued at it's worse!  Consul Bestia arrives but accepts Jugurtha’s surrender and a sweetheart deal, leaving Jugurtha king; the episode ends with claimant Massiva courting future consul Albinus.  Host Dean Jernigan.  Deanjernigancomedy@gmail.com

    The Early Years of Julius Caesar

    Comedian and self-proclaimed "not an expert" Dean Jernigan kicks off The History Pod by diving into the fascinating — and often overlooked — early years of Julius Caesar. Before Caesar became one of history's most iconic figures, he was a teenager from Rome's poorest neighborhood, navigating civil wars, political assassinations, and a priest appointment designed to derail him.
