You want some dissonance? How about comparing today's Amish to the Radical Reformers they descend from. My wife and I started a history podcast a few months ago, and there's a new episode out today! Podbean / RSS / iTunes / Stitcher / Google Play Music http://historyhoneys.podbean.com/e/anabaptists/ This time we talk about the Anabaptists, a movement of related Protestant sects dating back to the early days of the Reformation. Are our civil liberties inspired by people who dropped out of the society they protect? How can small communities survive in isolation, and how could they survive without isolation? Why are people living in modernity fascinated by those who chose not to be? General Ironicus fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Sep 13, 2016 |

All right guys, I just heard some really disheartening things about comments left on DeviousDrake69's channel and that poo poo has to stop. We won't keep making videos like this if people keep acting like assholes over it. Using a camcorder is not a moral failing.

Do you like streams? Maybe! Do you like Gex? Probably not! Do you like helping sick and injured children? Of course you do! The two of us, Voidburger, and my wife will be going through the entire Gex series in a 24-hour stretch this weekend, Saturday morning into Sunday, and collecting donations for Hurley Children's Hospital in Flint, Michigan. Chip and I are from Flint and still have plenty of friends and family living there. This is a chance to help that community care for people in their greatest need. It's also your chance to hang out with us as we are driven into sleepless ecstacy by Dana Gould's sweet one-liners. We're going to have giveaways and other donation incentives, it's gonna be great. You can find even more details and donate at https://gextra.life. Feel free to spread that link around!

Gextra Life and my computer exploding means we ran out of backlog. While we get back to it, have some other content in the mean time! Podbean / RSS / iTunes / Stitcher / Google Play Music Episode 8: The Magic Kingdom Alaina brings us to the Most Magical Place on Earth, Magic Kingdom Park in the Walt Disney World Resort. We learn about the park's inception and development, and follow a number of notable attractions from opening day to the present. Does the Magic Kingdom have a unique identity, or is it just Disneyland 2? How does something so compelling come from the collision of family passion and profit-seeking? Is there really any hope they'll give us a free vacation for saying mostly nice things? Supplemental 1: More letters, some outtakes, very cute Episode 9: Haymarket Grant takes a turn at Chicago tragedy with the Haymarket Affair. In May 1886 a bomb was thrown, igniting a shootout that killed over a dozen people and changed the fight for workers' rights forever. Can equality be gained in a system run by those who profit from inequality? Are the voices of the dead louder than those of the living? While we don't know who started the fight, can we even know who won in the end?

Today's new History Honeys covers, among other things, two pirates that will never rate inclusion in an Uncharted game: http://historyhoneys.podbean.com/e/great-lakes-oddities/ However, one of them was part of a Warehousee 13 episode, so that's something.

Sometimes even people mostly forgotten in popular history rooted out deep-cover assassins and took bricks to the head putting down riots. Podbean / RSS / iTunes / Stitcher / Google Play Music Episode 11: John Jay America's founders have been immortalized, lionized, and mythologized; but one seems to have fallen through the cracks. Grant shares what he's learned about John Jay, the forgotten father. Was he instrumental to the birth of the United States, or did he just happen to be in the right place at the right time? Is he forgotten because he left things half done in his career, or because he used his retirement to rest? Why on Earth is this episode mostly about a horse Alaina made up? [ed note: An actual Jay scholar has corrected us. The horse was named Hermoso.]

You don't have to travel to remote locations to find ancient tragedies that lead to supernatural weirdness. Sometimes, it happened in your own backyard!

Bruceski posted:Related to the Honeys podcast, is there any theater (dramatic, not cinema) that isn't haunted by a worker who died during construction? My high school theater had one (I saw it once while closing up) and I've run into similar stories for four other places. That would be asking me to prove a negative, so I'll have to refer you to Rhetoric Roommates (a spinoff from Philosophy Phriends) instead.

I remember this recording night! It turned out pretty cool in the end, so I made a whole episode about it! Podbean / RSS / iTunes / Stitcher / Google Play Music Episode 14: The Chicago Cubs Sometimes, when you're talking about history, it happens right in front of you. Grant takes hold of the one good thing to happen in this God-forsaken year and goes back to the 1870s to see how it all began. Alaina does her best to feign interest. How does a legacy push a team forward; how can it hold them back? What arcane might lies inside goats? Episode 13: Firsthand Philadelphia Alaina and Grant return home from Philadelphia and the Wyoming Valley to tell tales of all they learned. Is there a minimum length for a street? Or minimum a width? What DIDN'T Benjamin Franklin do? What's better: a ruin; or a preserve?

While Chip is in the most magical place on Earth, I just put out an episode on some other beloved family entertainment. gently caress Nazis! Podbean / RSS / iTunes / Stitcher / Google Play Music Episode 15: The Sound of Music It's the Holidays, and we'd like to share one of our traditions with you. Alaina tells us about the creation of a classic film, The Sound of Music. First, we delve into the creation of the fictional family Von Trapp, then look at their actual lives which inspired it. How much fidelity is owed to the truth in an adaptation? What lengths would you go to in resisting a fascist takeover? What unexpected benefits come with accepting refugees? It's also been exactly six months since episode 1! Thank you for all the love and support!

You know what else takes a beating and keeps running? These segues! Podbean / RSS / iTunes / Stitcher / Google Play Music Episode 16: The Battle of Michigan Avenue In 1968, the Democratic Party nominated a loyal member of the party leadership that did not reflect their members' views and could not present a compelling vision of the future. Meanwhile, prophesies of civil unrest became self-fulfilling as protests provoked a police riot miles away from the convention itself. What sort of protest makes the most change? How do you make leaders listen? Does democracy end on election day?

The first post-apocalypse novel has a surprising story behind it, and is briefly touched on in this episode about two other interesting stories. Podbean / RSS / iTunes / Stitcher / Google Play Music Episode 17: A Look Back at ‘16 Happy New Year! Our New Year's special has two topics for you. First, Grant takes us back to 1816, the Year Without a Summer, to tell the story behind the story of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Next, Alaina pops into 1916 to share the foundations and highlights of Dada. How does a geological event on one small island shape all of Western culture? If art is created by war, can art go to war?

All this travel is fun but waaaay too difficult. I want simulacra of interesting places put all together. Podbean / RSS / iTunes / Stitcher / Google Play Music Episode 18: EPCOT Alaina continues her Disney Parks series with an episode on Walt Disney World Resort's second gate: Epcot. Walt Disney's original idea for all that Florida land was a planned city so unique that the world would come to see how his people lived and worked. After his death, some of those ideas, and the name, were recycled to be a theme park that serves as a permanent World's Fair. Is high modernism the path to despotism? Even so, could it have worked? How can you hit a forever-moving target: the future? Who needs rides when you can visit 11 themed gift shops and drink?
