Ep. 33: Lesser Known Military Groups

9/11/2016
Well boys and girls, we are back for a brand new episode. This week we are taking the theme of lesser known or under appreciated groups of people and tweaking it just a bit (like we do).

We're each telling two stories from past Olympic games that we think are worth remembering.

Ep. 31: Small State, Big Impact

8/12/2016
Hey guys! Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Bad History. This week we're looking at instances of small states making national news. Whether they be small countries, small towns, or literal small states. Due to the rather depressing nature of last week's History Hangout, we decided to lighten things up this week by talking about happier topics. Topics like: small countries getting invaded, two nations going to war with each other, and that time that the US almost started a nuclear war with itself. We hope you enjoy!

Are you ready for a brand new episode of History Hangouts?? You better be, because here it is! We record a History Hangout any time that we get a chance sit down face to face and talk about a specific topic. It just so happens that this week the stars aligned just right and we had that beautiful opportunity. On this episode we talk about the sobering topic of imperialism, what it is, and what damages it caused. We try to figure out exactly why we allowed imperialism to happen and how it is still happening now. If you want to reach out you can find us on...

Ep. 28: Military Technology Disparities Between Two Armies

6/24/2016
Hey everyone welcome back to our most under-powered episode yet! This week we are talking about battles on which there is a huge disparity between the weaponry of the two armies. We explain how this can sometime lead to victory but more often than not can just lead to defeat. We hope you enjoy! Just a quick heads up, there will not be an episode for the next two weeks because Steven will be out of the country. We really hate that we have to do this, but unfortunately we did not have time to record some episodes in advance. But the good news is that Steven is going to be releasing some fun update videos throughout the next two weeks so look out for those! As always if you want to reach out you can find us on...

Bonus Episode #2: Those Times We Goofed Up

5/27/2016
From time to time we here at Bad History make a mistake while recording, whether we mispronounce something, say something we shouldn't, or just stumble over our words because apparently we've never spoken English before. More often than not they wind up being pretty funny, sometimes funnier than the stupid jokes we make. And so, to celebrate our completion of 25 episodes, we decided to compile our favorite bloopers into a bonus episode. We hope that you enjoy it. Our month off is almost to and end and we'll be back very soon with episode 26 and the start of season 2. Until then, if you want to reach out you can find us on....

Hey guys, thanks for joining us once again for a very....interesting episode of Bad History. This week we're talking about animals. Yeah, we didn't know either.

However, we did manage to come up with two pretty gosh darn good stories that have to do with animals in history. Let us know if you have a topic that you think is even more of a challenge then animals. We hope you enjoy! If you want to reach out, you can find us on....
