S4 - Ep. 8: A Jolly Weird Christmas Headline! (Holiday Finale)

In this special Holiday Finale of Behind the Headlines of History Season Four, join our cozy historians Brad Argent and Dr. Michala Hulme as they deck the halls and dive into the festive and fascinating headlines that stood out to them during this time of year. Discover the lengths that an eleven year old girl went through to get her Christmas wish—which may or may not have included breaking and entering! And peek into the origin of the iconic newspaper phenomenon, “Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus”, spurred by a particularly philosophical eight year old’s now-classic Letter to the Editor. Thank you for listening, enjoy our gift to you, and Happy Holidays! Watch the video episode [https://youtu.be/LagCt7xGGJc] on Ancestry's YouTube channel. Links to Articles: Is there a Santa Claus?

S4 - Ep. 7: Rogues, and Robbers, and Rattlesnake Dick?

Yes, you read that right. Dive into this episode of Behind the Headlines of History, where our brave hosts Brad and Michala trek through a treasure trove of stories laden with some of history's shadier characters, including a Peaky Blinders origin story. An Owl Gang? Rattlesnake Dick? Turkey-time thievery? No, this episode isn't animal themed (although we understand why you would think that), but brace yourself for some rough and rowdy stories. The coup de grâce? A shootout with infamous western highwayman, "Rattlesnake Dick"! Watch the video episode [https://youtu.be/tJbMq-6r-yI] on Ancestry's YouTube channel.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
