The First Computer

2/8/2025
Famous author CS Lewis coined a phrase that really speaks volumes about our own society and culture, chronological snobbery - Lewis defines this chronological snobbery as “the uncritical acceptance of the intellectual climate of our own age and the assumption that whatever has gone out of date is on that count discredited. In other words, we think we’re the best generation and our technology and lifestyles are far superior to those that came before us. Ask any adolescent who listens to their parents or teachers try to keep up with the lingo these days and laughter will ensue - why? Because deep down, they’re suffering from chronological snobbery. And don’t think they’re the only one, we’ve all done it! And that certainly applies to how we view history. We look at some of the cultures that came before us and laugh - until we find something that challenges that thought - something that tells us that we’re not superior at all to those that came before us, as if our new, modern technology somehow makes us better. Well, a fairly recent discovery is challenging just that. I hope I don’t mess with our egos too much today, you might want to get a second, or third cup of coffee. Welcome to the Missing Chapter, everyone, let’s get to it. Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Missing Chapter Podcast website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more information, previous episodes, and professional development opportunities!

Top 10 Geography Mistakes

1/25/2025
If you’re new to the Missing Chapter, welcome! If you’re a continued fan of the Missing Chapter, welcome back! And if you’re a student listening in to the Missing Chapter, welcome to the topic of social studies that you most likely hate the most - geography. For whatever reason, especially within the past few years, students in almost all of our classes have been very vocal about this topic - they say they struggle the most with geography, and consequently, it has become what they dislike the most. Well, let’s turn that around and talk about the areas of the world that even the adults listening in get wrong sometimes! What better way to kick off one of the most feared topics in our classes by going head-on into the Top 10 most mistaken facts about geography. It’s time for the coffee pour, let’s get started!

Contagious Laughter

1/18/2025
It’s just the nature of the season right now... Once one kid gets sick, all of the kids in the neighborhood seem to get it too, right? And that was the same thing that was happening in the trenches of WWI. If one soldier became ill, it spread like wildfire. But did you know that from the awful circumstances of WWI came one of the most popular playground games of all time? How did that happen? And what game are we talking about?

The Face of Liberty

1/4/2025
It has become arguably the most iconic image of freedom and independence not only in the United States, but the world over. A gift from a valued ally after a tumultuous period in world history. A beacon, that for decades, has welcomed immigrants to our nation’s shore, as well as inspired those already here, to uphold the values and principles our country was founded on. But soon after the French flag covering Lady Liberty’s face was lowered and her features divulged to the world, onlookers began wondering: who was the inspiration behind the statue’s striking face?

TOTally Reimagined

12/28/2024
As we close what many consider the holiday season, one thing is certain - the indulgence of holiday eating is officially closed. We all know what that’s about - gorging ourselves with the foods that we may not always enjoy throughout the year, so we feel justified in taking seconds, thirds, fourths, oh and the leftovers! But there’s one food, that unless an international history podcast highlights, could be enjoyed daily but never gets its due recognition. Hmm, I wonder what that could be? And that today, listeners, is the focus of today’s episode. Pour yourself another cup of coffee and let’s get to it.

Hope

12/21/2024
In the 1994, critically acclaimed movie, The Shawshank Redemption, Morgan Freeman’s character, “Red,” sits with his friend and fellow inmate, “Andy Dufresne,” brilliantly portrayed by Tim Robbins, in the courtyard of Shawshank Prison. “Hope can be a dangerous thing,” Red says, as Dufresne stares blankly into space. It certainly can be…. Or, it can be what keeps a man alive under extraordinary circumstances. For today’s episode, I take you, the listeners of The Missing Chapter Podcast, to my home town; the small hamlet of Altamont, NY, some 30 mins. outside of New York State’s capital of Albany for a truly remarkable, inspirational story of determination and survival. Like a Hollywood movie script, when our nation called upon the “greatest generation” to defend freedom from tyranny and fascism, men, women… families… responded like never before. Their stories – this story – from the nestling hills of the Hudson Valley to your ears on an episode that truly “hits home” for this host. Thanks for joining us… on this, a special home town episode of The Missing Chapter.

The Wright Formula

12/14/2024
If you’re anything like us, the miracle of flight is something that has always dazzled us. We still see the awe in watching planes take off and land, and being on a plane continues to thrill no matter how mainstream and normal commercial flights have become. There’s something so fascinating about it that it’s hard to describe. What’s truly unbelievable is how far we’ve come in such a short amount of time. We’ve only had a little over a century’s worth of flying experience and look how capable, safe, and almost physics-defying our common plane has truly become. And to think it all started with two brothers who shared the same fascination with flight as us. And that fascination, which led to obsession, is the focus of today’s episode. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your tray tables in their upright and locked position, and prepare for takeoff as your captains, Phil and Phil, bring you into the unknowns of the Wright brothers on this episode of the Missing Chapter.

The Unknowns of Pearl Harbor

12/7/2024
The day that will live in infamy. Those harrowing words might be one of the first things that come to mind when mentioning December 7, 1941.It’s been studied, watched, reviewed, and discussed countless times, evoking the same frightful emotion every time. But our goal here on the MCP is to look deeper into history’s well-known events and reveal the unknown, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do today. So let’s honor this day by discussing some of the unknown facts, stories, and heroes of that day, some 83 years ago. And let’s highlight, maybe even rewrite, what we know about that day, in a new, Missing Chapter.

Skywalkers

11/30/2024
Native Americans aren’t often associated with New York City and its dense, vertical, iron landscape. With so many indigenous nations pushed to America’s frontier in the 19th century, they usually appear in popular culture as populates of the rural West, occupying wide open spaces brimming with tipis, buffalo and pow wows. Yet the Mohawk Nation has deep roots in metropolitan New York City—where, beginning in the early 20th century, Mohawk, ironworkers contributed to building many of the iconic skyscrapers that dominate the Manhattan skyline today. These “Skywalkers” have for generations traveled far and wide to work on the “high steel,” bringing back good wages to support their homes and building reputations as fearless laborers in the process. Today’s episode takes us from Upstate NY to downtown Manhattan as we tight rope walk the iron beams of what are now some of the tallest buildings in the United States.

Norilsk, No Reward

11/23/2024
No risk no reward, right? We’ve all heard it. But have we heard of the focus of today’s episode? Norilsk, Russia? Yeah, me either. It’s one of the unknown areas of history, and is still one of the unknown areas of the world. A location so remote, so cold, and so polluted, that the environment itself is not only changed, but our perception of what color the skies, precipitation, and water should like will be forever modified. What is this place? Who is responsible for such a desolate wasteland? And why on earth would anyone go to this toxin-filled, pollutant-ridden nightmare?

Did you know that George Washington had wooden teeth? Wait, that’s not true is it? I thought that was a myth.

Mario & Lui-Genius

More than thirty-nine years ago, Nintendo debuted a video game that knocked out its competitors, much like a green turtle shell wiping out a string of Goombas. For every groundbreaking movie, television show, or video game, there are dozens of concepts that fall by the waste side and are lost in the proverbial black hole that is history. But every so often a game or idea develops that is legendary, iconic… historic. This episode focuses on arguably the most well-known video game protagonist, not named Pac-Man, but one that has grown a franchise of games, and the company itself, unlike any other.

Poets' Corner

10/12/2024
“And it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!” A quote. A book. A man… forever tied to the holiday season and the veritable meaning of the Christmas spirit. Charles Dickens became a pioneer for reform during his lifetime and during a time period where England was experiencing a revolutionary change of industry and labor. But what inspired Dickens? What motivated one of Britain’s most beloved authors to take up the cause of championing reform of the working class and the conditions they were being subjected to, while, in the process, penning some of the most beloved works in the history of literature?
