Episode The Great Galveston Hurricane - September 8, 1900 Cover

The Great Galveston Hurricane - September 8, 1900

Join Jenny, the Disaster Queen, as she takes a deep dive into a 15-foot storm surge that devastated turn-of-the-century Galveston, Texas. This posh boomtown took a huge hit and never saw it coming, even though one man probably should have. The Galveston hurricane is still the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States 123 years later and saw over 1/6 of the city's population go to their graves. We will talk about the how, the why, and what was learned and put in place to protect Galveston from hurricanes forever. Here are the resources I used to research this episode: book: Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson [https://a.co/d/eUzEmkx] book: Storm of the Century by Al Roker [https://a.co/d/9aveD6k] documentary: Isaac's Storm [https://watch.plex.tv/show/history-channel-documentaries/season/2004/episode/288] articles: https://www.galvestonmonthly.com/whoswho/isaac-cline.html [https://www.galvestonmonthly.com/whoswho/isaac-cline.html] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Cline [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Cline] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode Jonestown Massacre PART TWO w/ Becky Dell - November 18, 1978 Cover

Jonestown Massacre PART TWO w/ Becky Dell - November 18, 1978

Join Jenny, the Disaster Queen and her BFF Becky Dell as they discuss the terrible ending of Jim Jones' socialist dream with the mass "murder-suicide" (the Disaster Queen calls it straight up murder) of over 900 of Jones' followers as well as Congressman Leo Ryan and several members of the media on November 18, 1978. Before the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, it was the largest loss of civilian American life in a single event. Learn about what happened, the events that led to the END, and what the world learned from this heinous tragedy.
