Billy the Kid: The Truth Behind the Outlaw

Before he was Billy the Kid, he was Henry McCarty, a boy shaped by loss, survival, and a lawless frontier that offered no second chances. From a childhood marked by hardship, to the chaos of the Lincoln County War, to the final moment in a darkened room in Fort Sumner, this is the story rarely told the way it was lived. Not just the gunfighter. Not just the outlaw. But the boy the West used, and never let go. Because some legends aren’t born… They’re made by the world around them.

“Bog Bodies: Sacrifice Beneath the Peat”

The bog was not a grave. It was a threshold, a sacred border between worlds. And the people placed there were not discarded; they were offered. But these were not murders in the modern sense. Archaeologists believe many were ritual offerings, lives given to restore balance, to appease unseen forces, to hold a fragile world together.

“The Queen, the Mob, and the Hidden Door”

As thousands forced their way into the palace in search of the queen of France, she found herself with only seconds to act. There was no time to run the halls. But there was a door, hidden in the wall, waiting to be found. Check out my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/@LovingHistory-ko7qb [http://www.youtube.com/@LovingHistory-ko7qb]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
