Rethinking Our History

Felicia and Ian Lindsey

In this new weekly show from the host of The Paranormal Lovers we take a look at some of histories less well known events. Why are they less well known? Because " History is written by the victors." So we are here to look at the other side of the story, and to give people a starting point to learn about the true history of this country.

    Episode 67: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire:

    Send us Fan Mail We will be back in one week with our continuance of our look at the Crusades but this week we are going to look at an event that took place over a hundred years ago, but changed the way people did business forever.  At the turn of the century it was common to find sweatshops that employed hundreds of immigrants to make products; for little pay in terrible conditions. At the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory they took things a step further and locked the doors leaving only one exit so that they could inspect bags as employees were leaving for the day.  And so, on March 25th 1911, over 400 workers found themselves in these conditions when a fire broke out on the 8th floor. With no fire alarms, smoke detectors, or sprinklers the employees were trapped high above the street with no way to escape.   ROH EP 67 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirtwaist https://rememberthetrianglefire.org/ https://www.history.com/articles/triangle-shirtwaist-fire https://www.nfpa.org/news-blogs-and-articles/blogs/2024/03/01/the-triangle-shirtwaist-factory-fire-of-1911 https://rememberthetrianglefire.org/memorial/

    Episode 66: The Crusades Part 1:

    Send us Fan Mail We are going way back in time this week, even further than the Ottoman Empire, to look at a series of events that we all know about, but probably know very little about.  Christianity and Islam have been large players in the religious world for thousands of years. The Pope has been the leader of one of those religions for almost as long, and through him wars have been raged in their gods name.  Things really kick off in the 11th century as these two huge forces fought for what they felt their religion entitled them too.   ROH EP 66 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_war_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusade_of_1101

    Episode 65: Eric Rudolph:

    Send us Fan Mail We are taking a look at the case of a man who terrorized the nation, and our little slice of heaven, for years.  Fueled by white supremacy, a hatred of socialism and abortions, Eric Rudolph set off several bombs, starting at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta GA.  Even after 5 years of a federal man hunt, it was a local rookie cop from right here in Appalachia that would be the one to arrest the Olympic Park Bomber.   ROH EP 65 Source Notes: https://www.churchofisrael.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Rudolph

    Rerelease: Episode 54: Missing in Arizona: Daniel Robinson:

    Send us Fan Mail We took a little trip this past weekend and did not record so we decided to rerelease one of our more important episode.  Imagine getting a phone call that your 24 year old child did not return to their jobsite out in the Arizona desert. And then imagine getting told that your child is an adult and can disappear into the desert if they want too.  That is what David Robinson had to deal with the summer of 2021 when his son Daniel went missing from his job in Tempe Arizona. The Buckeye Police Department did not want to deal with a missing young adult, especially not a missing young black man.  David drove from his SC home all the way to Arizona to look for his son himself. A search he has not given up although there have been few to no leads in the 4+ years since Daniel disappeared.  What make it even harder is when a pretty young white girl goes missing Daniel gets pushed aside. This is some thing Joe Petito, Gabby Petito's father has been fighting against, even as he is along side David helping him look for his son.  If you know anything about what happened to Daniel Robinson in June of 2021 please contact the Buckeye Police Department at 623 349 6400. You can also contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1 800 843 5678.

    Episode 63: The Ottoman Empire Part 2:

    Send us Fan Mail This week we go through the last part of the regain of the Ottoman Empire. At their height they had over 30 million people under their rule. But in the late 1700's the might of the Empire began to fall.  Over the next couple of centuries the border of the empire fluxed, with wars raging on almost all sides. When the 20th century came around, citizens of this once great empire found themselves seeking a change in guard.  ROH EP 63 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire https://www.academia.edu/1391739/The_Habsburg_Defense_System_in_Hungary_Against_the_Ottomans_in_Sixteenth_Century_A_Catalyst_of_Military_Development_in_Central_Europe_In_Warfare_in_Eastern_Europe_1500_1800_Ed_Brian_J_Davies_Leiden_Boston_Brill_2012_History_of_Warfare_72_p_35_61

    Episode 62: The Ottoman Empire Part 1:

    Send us Fan Mail We wanted to take a look at an Empire that most of us have heard of but probably do not know much about, the Ottoman Empire.  Beginning in 1299 and lasting until the early 1900's, this Empire rule vast portions of different countries across different continents.  They were brutal in their attacks and left no one to rebuilt, you were either killed or take into slavery. If another empire was large enough to defend itself, you were either useful to the Ottomans, or you were an enemy to be defeated, there was no in between.  ROH EP 62: Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire

    Episode 61: John Donohue and The Greatest Beer Run Ever:

    Send us Fan Mail We are bringing you guys a lighthearted story this week with the tale of John Donohue and his mission to take his friends beer; all the way from New York City, to the battle fields of Vietnam.  John had done his stint in the military but was never placed on the front lines. His friends were though and at the time of his journey, over two dozen neighborhood boys had died in the course of the war.  A suggestion from the local bartender would send John on a months long journey all the way to the front lines of one of the most protested wars in the history of the US. Protest that John was angry at, until he made his journey.  ROH EP 61 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_Donohue https://allthatsinteresting.com/john-chickie-donohue https://cherrieswriter.com/2023/07/22/the-unbelievable-true-story-of-john-donohue-and-the-greatest-beer-run-ever/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4WAUmyKDq0 https://thecinemaholic.com/where-is-john-chickie-donohue-now-the-greatest-beer-run-ever-update/
