Unbalanced Views (Of History‪)‬ Brian & Mike

Welcome Back to Unbalanced Views (of History)!
Brian, Mike & Garrick once again examine the competent and humane governance of the United States in the west. They look at western plains tribes and how they dealt with the invasion of white folks from the east. Mike checks in with his misogyny rundown and coincidentally, the guys talk about the arrival of 10 white women in Denver (ooh-la-la). So, grab your Pike's Peak Wagon and Pike's Peak Life Insurance and join us for Episode 24 - Centaurs, Argonauts, and the Labors of Hercules: An EPIC Tale of Colorado in the Old West.

Welcome Back to Unbalanced Views (of History)!
Brian & Garrick roll through this one without a sick, voiceless Mike in this one. The guys talk about the White Supremacy and violence in Kansas. They discuss the abolitionist John Brown. And they talk about the dual trends of economic collapse (Panic of 1857) and the discovery of gold in Colorado (in 1858). The guys look at the establishment of Denver, on indigenous land. They AGAIN look at the clear, concise, just, fair, efficient governance of the United States in the west. They look at western boosterism, fantastical technology, and the challenges faced by would-be Argonauts heading across the plains. Challenges than led one man to eat the bugs and another to eat...what he had to. So, grab your Pike's Peak Wagon and Pike's Peak Life Insurance and join us for Episode 23 - Centaurs, Argonauts, and the Labors of Hercules: An EPIC Tale of Colorado in the Old West.

Welcome to Unbalanced Views (of History)!
Brian & Mike are again joined by friend of the Pod, Garrick (garriq@gmail) to discuss Centaurs & Argonauts, and the making of Colorado. The guys dig into America's long sordid history of lousy governance and unconstitutional government actions. They discuss how it's always regular, poor folks who suffer when irresponsible, wealthy speculators destroy the economy. They talk cannibalism, gold dust, and offshore treasure hunting. Finally, they ask the most pressing question--if you were to search for and find several tons of gold lost in a shipwreck 130 years earlier...how much of that gold should go to the original insurance companies? Listen to Unbalanced Views (of History)--Episode 22 to find out!

The guys are joined by Colorado resident and friend of the Pod, Garrick (garriq@gmail) to embark on a sweeping, epic tale of Colorado in the Old West! A story (or stories) of competing visions of power, of independence, of freedom will come to a head throughout this expansive journey across the Great Plains to the front range of of the breathtaking Rockies. Throughout the story, Centaurs and Argonauts (Horse-people and Gold-seekers) play central roles in transforming the region with unprecedented consequences. As always, when cultures and people collide, the stories that emerge become the foundation on which our collective memory rest. This story is, at least partly, the story of those stories. Enjoy!

In this episode, Brian & Mike (Tweet @ViewsUnbalanced, email unbalancedviews@gmail.com ) conclude their discussion of time in the Old South. The discuss forms of resistance and accommodation to clock time and different ways of prioritizing time. They talk broken clocks, graveyards and sharecropping. And they look at Edgar Allen Poe's version of Major T.J. "King" Kong--who learns to stop worrying about the clock and love the sublime. Finally, they talk about standard time--how it came to exist and how people resisted it. Hopefully this episode proves a good way to spend your time! Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Brian & Mike (Tweet @ViewsUnbalanced, email unbalancedviews@gmail.com ) begin to shift focus to ways enslaved folks resisted "The Master's Time." They look at Black time consciousness, look at mechanical vs naturalistic time and they choose sides in the battle between workers and bosses. Finally, they talk about West African time construction and how it reflects and differs from Southern African American time. Edgar Allen Poe makes another appearance.
