Tour Guide Tell All

The election of 1948 is one of those few elections that really stand out for a number of reasons, but the most famous reason is the iconic picture of the re-elected President Truman holding up a newspaper proudly declaring "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" Join the Rebeccas as they dig into the election pretty much everyone assumed Harry Truman was going to lose, and find out how he beat the incredible odds against him.

Join us as we close out Women's History month with an in depth look at one of the most beloved and enigmatic figures in Argentine history: Eva Peron. Most of us know about her only through the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, but the real story is perhaps even more astounding. Join the Rebeccas as they take a deep dive at the origins of this woman who helped spark an entire political movement, still active to this day. Comments or Questions?

March is Women's History Month, and as we are fond of reminding everyone, women's history is American history, and there's no better way to focus attention on that than by talking about some of our favorite "forgotten women" of our Founding Era. Join the Rebeccas as they discuss women notably absent from most of our history textbooks, like Deborah Read Franklin, as well as the brilliant enslaved poet Phillis Wheatley, the gifted playwright and essayist Mercy Otis Warren, and the first woman to fight in the infantry of the American Army, Debora Sampson, among other incredible women of this age.

Black History Month rolls on with a local DC story. Black history is American history but it’s also, and perhaps especially, DC history, as so much of our nation's capital was built by free and enslaved African Americans. Join Becca and Rebecca as we discuss Benjamin Banneker, astronomer, surveyor, and "correspondent" of Thomas Jefferson. Hear the truth behind the myths, why there are so many myths about him, and how very important Banneker is to the history of DC and legacy of abolitionism. Comments or Questions?

February is Black History Month; a time to pause a bit and reflect on how Black History is American History, and to highlight the often untold or hidden stories we don't know nearly enough about. This week, we dive into one of the most important, and most effective, protests of the Civil Rights Era: The Selma Marches. Join the Rebeccas as they take a deep dive into not only how the marches occurred, but why they occurred, linking them the broader Civil Rights movement that had already scored a number of significant wins by 1965, and explaining in detail why these marches were so successful.

For fans of the Pod, you probably know that our esteem for President Andrew Jackson is hovering near our esteem for President Wilson....right around the bottom of the heap. But that isn't going to stop us from telling you the fascinating tale of the shockingly close attempt on Jackson's life, while also stating clearly and firmly: political violence of any kind is never acceptable. And yes, that includes folks we don't even like! Join the Rebeccas as they dive into the life of the clearly mentally disturbed wannabe assassin, and give you the bizarre details of the attempt that makes one think Jackson might be one of the luckiest human beings ever.

Double Indemnity (1944) is, shall we say, "loosely based" on the real life murder of one Albert Snyder by his wife, Ruth, and her lover, Judd Gray. At the time the murder in 1927, this was labeled "The Crime of the Century" and was relentlessly pursued by the press which, shockingly, brought all sorts of twists and misrepresentations into the case. Join the Rebeccas as they take a deeper dive into what actually happened with the case, how Hollywood and the press distort it, and how all this relates to the to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed in 1974.

It’s the end of the year, so it's time for a World's Fair episode! In 1904 the attention of the world turned to St Louis, which held a massive and, of course, controversial World's Fair (because why else would we be talking about it!). In the middle of the Fair they even held the 3rd *ever* Olympic Games, which included a marathon that actually served as one of the most horrific and unethical medical experiments on human beings without their consent or knowledge. Perhaps not shockingly, once you hear the story, this was also *almost* the last Olympic marathon ever. Good times! Join Rebecca and Becca as we discuss this entire spectacle that descended on the Midwest and the chaos that ensues. Comments or Questions? Or have an idea for future episodes - #pitchtothepod?

The Election of 1876 is probably the wildest election story and also integral to understanding the next 50 years of American history. It also serves as the final footnote of the Civil War, testing whether a nation divided by violence and warfare could ever really come back together. It does, but at what cost?

Harry Houdini was a magician, an escape artist, a skeptic, and a showman. We wanted a spooky spectacular star for an October spooky episode, and Houdini put the spectacle in spectacular. Join Rebecca and Becca as we talk about the life of one of the most famous magicians in American history, and, perhaps more importantly, an early crusader against con artists and frauds in the realm of Spiritualism (Check out our previous episodes on Spiritualism if you haven't already!)

OYEZ OYEZ OYEZ! It's October, which means the Supreme Court is back in session and the Rebeccas are digging into some of the history of the Court this month. Associate Justice of the Supreme Court William O. Douglass is probably one of the most important Supreme Court Justices you probably know nothing about. Appointed by FDR, he remains the longest serving justice in the history of the court, at just over 36 years.

The beginning of September marks the end of summer, and though we all enjoy that last 3-day weekend to get those summer plans checked off, it's important to remember the WHY of Labor Day. Join the Rebeccas as they dive into one of the earliest organized labor strikes, all the more remarkable because it was driven by mostly formerly enslaved women who could largely neither read nor write, just as Jim Crew began to raise its ugly specter on the "New South."
