    Episode 74: The Real Life Forrest Gump

    01/03/2026 | 39 min
    Before there was a movie, there was a man who lived it. We all know the story of the accidental hero who wandered through history, rubbing elbows with presidents and changing the world by mistake. But what if that story wasn't fiction? In this episode, we trace the impossible footsteps of a figure who defined the 19th century.

    Follow the journey of a man who:

    Survived the rugged Oregon Trail during the height of the expansion.

    Navigated the treacherous Mississippi as a high-stakes steamboat captain.

    Chased a fortune as a silver and gold miner in the wild West.

    Crossed the Atlantic Ocean six times, becoming one of the first true global celebrities.

    Revolutionized modern life by inventing and patenting the everyday bra strap clasp.

    He wasn't just a witness to history—he was the one writing it. Join us as we peel back the layers of a life so cinematic, it’s hard to believe he was ever real. You might think you know who we’re talking about, but the final destination is a name you’d never expect to find sitting on that bench.

    Episode 73: The Gilded Age: First March on Washington D.C.

    30/01/2026 | 36 min
    In 1894 Jacob Coxey decided to take thousands of unemployed and March on Washington. Well, that was just the prequel to 1964 March for Civil Rights. But it's how A. Philip Randolph was indoctrinated to the idea. And crazily this store involves both Mark Twain and Jack London, in addition to Pullman Porters, the Ferris Wheel, Eugene V Debs, the May Day Riots, Frederick Douglass, and even the Statue of Liberty.
