The Tulsa Race Massacre (S2, E4)
7/6/2020
This episode of the podcast is a look into the Tulsa Race Massacre and Juneteenth. I took a few weeks away from the podcast so I could read, learn, and come back to the podcast with a better knowledge of events that impacted the Black communities in the US and the world.
A few weeks before this episode aired, Trump caused a furor over his decision to hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 19. At the time, I didn't understand why there was an outcry (other than holding a rally during the...

The Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 (S2, E3)
6/16/2020
This one's for all of you Outlander fans out there! While we learn about Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) and the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 in the books and the show, I was interested to learn a bit more about the first rising in 1715 and to find out who played a role in the attempt to put a Stuart on the throne.
What I didn't expect was to learn where the phrase "read the riot act" came from and how Scotland and England became a union.

Over 100 years after the Spanish Flu, we're going through our own pandemic (which to be honest, inspired me to start this podcast back up again!). In this episode, we take a look at the Spanish Flu of 1918 and the similarities to our current COVID-19 pandemic.

The History in 10 Podcast is back for season 2!
In this first episode, we're wrapping up what we started in Season 1: Danish history, but we're taking a bit of a different approach. Instead of going through each point in history and drawing it out like we're reading a history textbook, we're focusing on some interesting points in Danish history.
Listen in as we talk about the Kalmar Union, how at one point anyone could become a noble, the history of Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous...

6/3/2019
Today’s episode is part one of a series on Danish history. As I prepare for my first trip to Denmark, the country my paternal grandparents emigrated from in the mid-20th century, I wanted to know more about the history of the country - from the first inhabitants, to the Vikings, monarchy and the culture that led to current day Denmark. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/history-in-ten/support

Episode 21: Unknown Battles of World War II
3/4/2019
Do you remember the Battle of Los Angeles? No? What about the Battle of Crete? Still no? There are often a lot of decisive battles left out of history books because wars, especially ones as large as World War II, were full of battles. But a lot of these unknown battles heavily influenced the results of the war or, in the case of the Battle of Los Angeles, emphasize just how high tensions about a potential invasion went. --- Support this podcast:...

Episode 19: Los Angeles, California Part 1
2/18/2019
We grew up studying major US and world historical events, learning about what happened in our own backyards, but did we ever learn much about other cities and states in the country? Sure we learned about the Boston Tea Party, Chicago's meat packing industry from Upton Sinclair, and Gettysburg from the Civil War, but do we really know the history of some of the other major US cities? Or the smaller cities and towns we rarely, if ever, visit? This is part one of the history of Los Angeles, a...

Episode 18: The Brooklyn Bridge and Emily Warren Roebling
2/4/2019
Have you ever walked or driven across a bridge and wondered just who made it and how it was made? Or have you, like me, marveled the architectural and engineering feats of New York City’s bridges, subways, and tunnels? Did you know that much of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge was actually monitored by a woman? Emily Warren Roebling stepped in for her husband, Washington Roebling when he fell ill during the construction of the bridge, and she saw it to completion. --- Support this...

Have you ever read "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath? Did you know anything about the author, how she lived and died? Most of us have probably picked up "The Bell Jar" at some point in our lives, whether it was an assignment for school or an independent read, but most of us don't know much about her life.

Ida B. Wells. An incredible, outspoken woman who spoke out on lynchings and racial injustices in the South in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

We all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood and we’ve all seen Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and the Little Mermaid, but the origins of these fairy tales are not so Disney friendly.
