The Military Intelligence required to land on the beaches of Normandy France in 1944 was massive. And while Allied Forces were up to the task in gathering terrain maps, soil samples and German defensive positions, a TON of valuable information was gained through a BBC Photography contest and photos submitted by the public. In this episode, we talk about different types of intelligence gathering, how they’re used in modern warfare, and this ingenious idea for gaining information that helped plan the landings on D-Day. Then we chat with Comedian and podcast regular, Jay Black!

Occasionally an item makes its way onto a movie set that has real-world value outside of the “silver screen.” In a world where most props are manufactured or procured strictly to serve a purpose in a film, these real-world items have been seen on major feature films. In this episode, we’ll talk about a few of these, and a mishap that ended in one of these rare items being destroyed on-screen! Then we chat with Comedian Brandon Koss!

The Battle of Los Angeles: Real Bullets & Imaginary TargetsEpisode Originally Released Jan 17, 2022
On February 25, 1942, the sky erupted with gunfire and anti-aircraft rounds. The ground-to-air assault went on for an hour, and the intended target was an invading Japanese air attack. But there was no enemy. The entire thing was a huge false alarm. It became known as the Battle of Los Angeles. In this episode, we tell the story about the air raid and then talk with Magicians Meadow Perry And Daniel Greenwolf!Mass Hysteria and the War of the WorldsEpisode Originally Released July 24, 2022

In 1957, an amazing discovery was made - it was a Viking Penny dating back to 11th Century Norway.  The find itself was rare, but not unheard of. The thing that made it so remarkable? It was found on the Eastern shore of Maine in the United States. Is this evidence that the Vikings beat Christopher Columbus to America by 400 years? In this episode, we discuss Norse exploration, L’Anse aux Meadows, Leif Erikkson, The Goddard Site and the Maine Viking Penny. Then we play the quiz game with award-winning Speaker and Author, Marissa F. Cohen!

It’s a first for our podcast! The episode we ran on November 11, 2024 about the U.S.S. Constitution and Constitution Grove in Indiana was so popular, it made its way to the ears to the ears of the Historian for the United States Naval History & Heritage Command Detachment Boston, which is the group that is the authority on the topic! Historian, Margherita M. Desy, spent some time with me to help correct the record! We spoke for 30 minutes and you’ll definitely be impressed by the wealth of knowledge exhibited here. I want to get as many things right on this podcast as I can, so I jumped at the opportunity to correct some of the errors from the original episode!

There’s a popular Hollywood story about Lucille Ball. She told several people, including Dick Cavett, that the temporary fillings in her mouth picked up radio stations - even detecting an underground Japanese Spy Ring during World War II! This episode is a bit of a departure from our normal episodes as we try to get to the truth of the famous tale. And since this is a “Mythbusters” style podcast, we bring on Cliff and Harrison of the “Try This At Home” Mythbusters watch-along podcast to chat about the story!
