William Henry Harrison cause of death
Apr 5
He died because he fell in the canal in Fort Wayne Indiana. I am from that city, so I KNOW this is true. 😊
One of the best history podcasts

This show is what made me subscribe to Radiotopia. One of the best podcasts that’s able to make history engaging by making the characters and stories come to life. Been a listener for years and plan to be one for years to come
Sad About Zionist Leanings
Jul 7
This was one of my favorite podcasts. I listened to new episodes within a day or two of them coming out because they are always so good. But on a recent episode there was a commercial for what is clearly a Zionist podcast. When I looked into it, it seems Jody had definitely Zionist leanings. I can’t support a podcast that allows Zionist shows to advertise as one of their commercials. I’m extremely disappointed. I would have thought this extremely smart show would be on the right side of history but apparently not.
Short but never shallow
