    S5E11 Andrew Dorman - Trinity College, Dublin

    Our guest today leads the double life of being an academic at Trinity College, Dublin, by day and doing stand-up comedy by night! Andrew Dorman is a Research and Policy Officer with TCD's Centre for Economics, Policy, and History, and recently earned his PhD in history from Dublin City University. A specialist on soldiering in 18th century Ireland, Andrew has published with the British Journal of Military History and the Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research, and his first book is coming out with Broydell and Brewer in early 2025. Andrew's night gig doing stand-up has taken him to Asia, the US, and Europe, and he's twice performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Andrew has a great story—growing up in Dublin, watching war movies as a kid, then discovering history and comedy in college and deciding to pursue both! We'll talk 3-minute thesis competitions, crafting a joke, My Chemical Romance, hecklers, Ulf the Quarrelsome, among a lot of other stuff—this one is packed! Shout-out to Friend of the Pod Zack White for putting us in touch with Andrew, and shout-out to Andrew's local in Dublin, The Stag's Head! Rec.: 11/21/2024

    S5E10 Hampton Newsome - Civil War Scholar

    Our guest today is the guy who led the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection team that created the ubiquitous yellow Energy Guide labels on your appliances. Oh yeah, he's also an award-winning historian of the American Civil War. Hampton Newsome recently retired from a long career as an attorney with the Federal Trade Commission and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Hampton did his undergraduate degree at Duke University and earned his JD from the University of Virginia School of Law. He is the author of several books, including Richmond Must Fall: The Richmond-Petersburg Campaign (Kent State University Press), The Fight for the Old North State: The Civil War in North Carolina January-May, 1864 (University Press of Kansas), and most recently Gettysburg's Southern Front: Opportunity and Failure at Richmond (University Press of Kansas), which won the Emerging Civil War Book Award ad the Edwin C. Bearss Book Award for Oustanding Scholarship in Civil War History. We'll talk being a non-academic historian, doing archival research, Civil War Roundtables, Danny Ferry, Uncle Tupelo/Wilco, among other pressing issues. We really enjoyed this one!

    S5E08 Mary Elizabeth Walters - USAF Air Command & Staff College

    Today's guest is the thoroughly amazing Mary Elizabeth Walters of the USAF Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell AFB in Alabama. A native of Cheraw, South Carolina, Mary Elizabeth fell in love with history doing oral histories with D-Day Pathfinders for National History Day, but she had no idea that would lead to living in Albania, studying refugee crises from Kosovo and Afghanistan, and now teaching theory of war and strategy to Air Force majors. We'll talk cows, hippie parents, National History Day, host mothers in Albania, the Wayne Lee Experience at UNC, moving from the university world to professional military education, and more. Enjoy our entertaining chat with Mary Elizabeth Walters! Rec. 10/08/2024

    S5E07 Mary Beth Brown - Owner and Pitmaster, Dolan's BBQ, Statesboro

    We've been wanting to do this for a while now, as we're always pushing our BBQ chops on you, dear loyal listeners, so we talked with a legit pitmaster - Mary Beth Brown of Dolan's BBQ down the street from Georgia Southern University here in Statesboro, Georgia. Along with her sister Lazar Brown Oglesby, Mary Beth is the owner and pitmaster of one of the best BBQ places in Southeast Georgia. A Georgia Southern University graduate experienced in the restaurant and hospitality industry, Mary Beth has proved that "Girls Can 'Que, Too!" She was kind enough to sit down with us while we had lunch outside on the Dolan's porch (complete with Statesboro Pick-Up Truck Traffic on Main Street!). We'll talk things BBQ - business, life choices, being a woman pitmaster and BBQ restaurant owner, and sauce - as well as Dwight Yokum, paying your dues early on, cooking through a hurricane, and further confirmation that the best ideas can come from a cooler of cold beer enjoyed on a riverbank (a lot of parallels with military historians). We know you'll enjoy this episode as much as we did doing it. And, we got to see the pit smoker! Rec.: 10/08/2024

    S5E06 Cameron Zinsou - US Army Command and General Staff College

    Today's guest is one of the nicest and brightest new scholars in the military history community - Cameron Zinsou of the US Army Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. A native of Ft. Worth, Texas, Cameron thrived at North Texas as an undergraduate and earned his PhD at Mississippi State University. He's a World War II guy, focusing on French meanings of citizenship during the conflict. There's a lot in this one, so get ready - we'll talk growing up in Ft. Worth, early interest in Civil War history (a la Lesley Gordon), grief and loss of a sibling, the influence of Rob Citino, getting hooked on F1 after a lifetime of misguided NASCAR fandom, among many other topics. Enjoy. Shoutout to Arthur Bryant's BBQ in Kansas City! Rec.: 09/19/2024

    Today's guest took a non-traditional path to becoming a historian, working in the private sector while gradually becoming a researcher and writer on the Vietnam War.

Jay has been active in supporting identifying remains of missing American servicemembers and has testified before Congress on behalf of families of missing servicemembers. If you've attended the annual Texas Tech University Vietnam conference, you've heard Jay speak on these and other Vietnam War-related topics. Join us for an entertaining and interesting chat with Jay Veith. We'll talk being in the Cold War US Army, Rambo, researching and writing on topics raw in living memory, earning a PhD in Australia, being an "independent scholar," and the best pho in Falls Church.
