  • Gettysburg — the Pivotal Battle of the American Civil War
    Jun 17 2024

    It was the bloodiest battle ever in the Western Hemisphere. For 3 days in July 1863 Americans slaughtered each other on a terrible scale around a small town in Pennsylvania, where the honored dead "gave the last full measure of devotion".

    Find out why Robert E. Lee invaded the north, and why he failed so terribly; why the civil war dragged on for almost two more years after this union victory; and how this conflict inspired one of the greatest speeches ever in the English language.

  • Galileo Galilei vs. the Church
    May 10 2024

    Galileo is considered the father of modern science. His discoveries included the laws of pendulums which led to the development of the first accurate clocks. But tragically, he was tried by the Inquisition of Rome for heresy. The science deniers of the Church threatened to burn him at the stake unless he recanted his claims that he could prove that Copernicus was right: that the Earth is not the center of the universe, that we live in a heliocentric system where the earth and the other planets revolve around the sun.

i always look forward to the next release of this podcast!

Mark Palmer goes into such depth on these topics. This is my favorite history podcast! I'm always bummed when I finish an episode because I'm all caught up on past episodes and I then have to wait for the next one. 5 stars!
