Episode 150 - 'Mignonette': A Harrowing Story Of Cannibalism At Sea

10/15/2025
Again and again, in desperate times throughout history, people have turned to desperate measures and committed what many societies consider to be the worst of all human sins — cannibalism. Members of the Donner Party infamously resorted to cannibalism to survive when they became stranded in the Sierra Nevadas in the 1840s, as did survivors of the Andes Flight Disaster in 1972. At sea, castaway sailors often followed a long-held tradition known as the "custom of the sea," an implicit agreement that, if they were stranded, sailors would draw lots to pick who would be killed — and eaten. But the story of cannibalism involving a 19th-century ship called the Mignonette is a bit different. https://allthatsinteresting.com/history-uncovered/mignonette Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 143 - The Story Behind America's "Government Cheese" And The Massive Caves Used To Store It

7/9/2025
In the 1970s, the U.S. faced a serious dairy shortage that sent prices soaring. To address this, the government, under Jimmy Carter, implemented a massive subsidy program for the dairy industry. $2 billion was pumped into dairy subsidies, milk production skyrocketed, and prices for consumers stabilized. By all metrics, the program was a success — but perhaps it was too successful. https://allthatsinteresting.com/weird-presidential-photos Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 142 - The Tragic Assassination Of Robert F. Kennedy

6/18/2025
By June of 1968, the United States felt, to many, like a nation teetering on the edge. Every night, Americans watched the carnage of the Vietnam War on their television screens. That April, Martin Luther King Jr. had been killed in cold blood in Memphis, Tennessee, triggering riots in cities across the country. Into this chaos stepped Robert F. Kennedy — the younger brother of slain President John F. Kennedy — as a candidate in the 1968 presidential election. But then, on what should have been a celebratory night for his inspiring campaign in early June, RFK was shot and killed, too. https://allthatsinteresting.com/sirhan-sirhan credits: ⁠⁠⁠https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 140 - Inside The 1910 Push For Americans To Eat Hippos

5/21/2025
Today, the average American consumes almost 70 pounds of beef per year and almost 100 pounds of chicken. But those numbers could have been quite different. A century ago, American policymakers pushed for a different kind of meat supply in the United States — hippo meat. In 1910, a Louisiana politician introduced a bill to bring hippopotamuses to the country in the hopes that they would both eat invasive plants and alleviate a meat shortage. https://allthatsinteresting.com/cocaine-hippos credits: ⁠https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 139 - History's Most Disturbing Mutiny? The Story Of The Dutch Ship Batavia

5/7/2025
In 1629, the Dutch ship Batavia wrecked off the coast of what is now Western Australia, stranding over 300 people on remote, barren islands. What followed was not a fight for survival, but a descent into terror, as a mutinous group led by Jeronimus Cornelisz unleashed a campaign of murder, torture, and control. Over the next few months, dozens were slaughtered—not by nature, but by their fellow survivors. This is the story of one of history’s most chilling mutinies, and one of Australia’s earliest and darkest chapters. https://allthatsinteresting.com/sunken-ships/7 Learn more about your ad choices.
