Our Phoenician episode is out today! The Phoenician sphere of influence stretched beyond the Pillars of Heracles. The City-States survived the power brokers of the eastern Mediterranean, and continued to thrive. Then Alexander came. See you inside. #HistoricallyHigh #Phoenicians

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Tomorrow we set off back to the ancient Mediterranean to discuss The Phoenicians. They were the middlemen of the Mediterranean, and created a trade network of goods that everyone wanted. They even gave color to Royalty! #HistoricallyHigh #ThePhoenicians #AncientHistory

Our Three Mile Island Accident episode is out today! It took 14 years to properly clean up the TMI Unit 2 site. That and a whole bunch of court cases. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission had a real bad episode from start to finish. Listen in now! #HistoricallyHigh #ThreeMileIsland

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Our John Hinckley/Reagan Assassination attempt episode is out now! It's odd to not have the assassination attempt be the centerpiece of the episode. Had Reagan died, this would be a very different episode. Thankfully this episode centers around an insanity plea. #HistoricallyHigh

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

We have quite the episode for you tomorrow. John Hinckley Jr. infamous for attempting to kill Ronald Reagan. Not because he hated Reagan or to get attention for his cause. He did it to get Jodie Foster to admit that she loved him. Crazy ep coming #HistoricallyHigh #JohnHinckley

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Part 2 of our 9/11 episode is out today. We split this into 2 episodes because there was a pre 9/11 U.S., and a post 9/11 U.S. we are still in today. Come with us for minute by minute of the day 25 years ago, and what came from the tragedy. #HistoricallyHigh #September11th

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Our Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal episode is out now. This is a classic example of "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up". Bill committed perjury over something the public cared little about. Was that still wrong? Yes. Did it have anything to do with Whitewater? No #HistoricallyHigh

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Tomorrow we dive into to the Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal. Whitewater, Paula Jones, Ken Starr, Linda Tripp, this episode feels like a distant childhood memory. It's time to relive it all as we dog in and tell the story tomorrow. #HistoricallyHigh #ClintonLewinskyScandal

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Our Khmer Empire episode is out now! The Khmer were a people that excelled in agriculture, and grew to an enormous size. The decline was driven by religious strife and growing rival kingdoms in SE Asia. Their legacy still lives on in their architecture #HistoricallyHigh #KhmerEmpire

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Tomorrow we are talking about the Khmer Empire. The capital city of Angkor had the largest pre-industrial population in the world. How is that possible? Mastery of water. Get ready to hear all about the former powerhouse of Southeast Asia #HistoricallyHigh #KhmerEmpire #Cambodia

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Our Ted Kaczynski episode is out now! For 17 years Ted terrorized the U.S. with a bombing campaign. The manifesto that was published for the masses would be his undoing. David Kaczynski had a choice to make. Turn in his brother or risk more lives. #HistoricallyHigh #Unabomber #TedKaczynski

010

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Tomorrow we finally tackle an episode we have teased for a while. The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. Ted had some beliefs that are hard to argue with. It was the method to getting those beliefs seen by the public that was unjustifiable. #HistoricallyHigh #Unabomber #TedKaczynski

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Our K2 episode is out now! The race to summit these 8,000m peaks for the first time was a point of national pride. Nowadays they are points of personal pride. Summiting K2 sounds like a rush. Surviving K2 sounds like a matter of luck. #HistoricallyHigh #K2 #Mountaineering

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

We are diving into the Red Scares and McCarthyism. Turns out there is a long history of accusing people of being communists in the U.S.. Sen. Joe McCarthy wasn't the first or last to cry "Commie!", but he was the loudest. Find out the history Tomorrow #HistoricallyHigh #RedScare

The Gears of War episode is out now! Prof. Chris never ceases to amaze when it comes to fictional histories. I didn't know this universe existed. After hearing the episode, I'm the closest I've ever been to being jealous of Xbox people. Listen in now #HistoricallyHigh #GearsofWar

001

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

This week Chris gives us the Fictional History of Gears of War! A video game series that inspired a novel series to fill in the gaps. As a Playstation guy, I had no knowledge of Gears of War. World wars, love stories, and locusts. A lot to enjoy! #HistoricallyHigh #GearsofWar

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

The Great Depression: Global Edition is out now! The Depression was a dark time in history. It's easy to get caught up in the stories of what occurred at home. The stories from abroad fill in a lot of details on the road to what happened next. #HistoricallyHigh #GreatDepression

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Last week we took on the Great Depression in the U.S.. This week we take on the Great Depression around the world. 1933: British unemployment- ~25%, German unemployment-~30%, Canadian unemployment ~27%, French unemployment...4%. Why? Find out tomorrow #HistoricallyHigh #GreatDepression

Part 1 of The Great Depression is out now! The Stock Market Crash hurt. The Dust Bowl hurt. Hoover's Laissez-faire approach hurt. Banks collapsing with 7 billion dollars in customer deposits vanishing was lethal. See you in the episode. #HistoricallyHigh #GreatDepression

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Tomorrow will be part 1 of 2 on The Great Depression. The tailspin after the stock market crash felt like wearing a pair of cement shoes while swimming in the East River. At the height of the GD, 1 in 4 Americans in the workforce were unemployed #HistoricallyHigh #GreatDepression

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Our Butch Cassidy episode is out now! He may not have been Robin Hood robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, but he was robbing from the rich and buying from the poor. That or blowing robbery money at the best brothels in the west. #HistoricallyHigh #ButchCassidy #wildwest

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Tomorrow is going to be all about the legend Butch Cassidy! He may be one of the most likable outlaws ever. That's one reason why they chose the ruggedly handsome Paul Newman to play him. Butch and Sundance. Newman and Redford. Dynamic duos #HistoricallyHigh #ButchCassidy #yeehaw

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Our Battle of Kursk ep is out now! Hitler had the Allies knocking in the south, and a defeat Stalingrad, but instead of going on defense, he wanted offense. The Soviets rejected his advances, and the Allies slid in his backdoor. Bad July for Hitler #HistoricallyHigh #Kursk #WW2

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

This week's class is going to be centered around the Battle of Kursk! If you were wondering what happened after the Germans were defeated at Stalingrad, it is an ill-advised offensive to smash the Kursk salient. This is a heavy tank episode #HistoricallyHigh #BattleofKursk #WW2

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Our Disneyland episode is out now! Disneyland is built to play to the senses of a guest. Stunning visuals, exciting rides, nostalgia inducing characters, Dole Whips, fireworks, and...Smellitizers? A what? You're going to have to listen to find out. #HistoricallyHigh #Disneyland

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Our Catherine the Great episode is out now! The Russian Empire had 2 greats. Peter dragged Russia out of the past. He was crazy, but effective. Catherine continued the mission of modernizing the empire. Less crazy, but still very entertaining #HistoricallyHigh #CatherinetheGreat

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

I think his story is told as something lesser than because of his age compared to the rest of the Founding Fathers. That age came in handy when diplomacy was necessary

010

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Tomorrow we head back to Russia. As we learned from Peter the Great, the Russian Empire was nuts! Catherine the Great was no exception, except... she wasn't a Romanov. She had to take out PtG's grandson/her husband, to take the throne. #HistoricallyHigh #CatherinetheGreat

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Our Castaways episode is out now! I don't know if any of the survivors in this episode would consider themselves lucky. The things they saw and did haunted them for life, but there are a whole lot of castaway stories that never got a chance to be told. #HistoricallyHigh #Marooned

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Tomorrow we get into the stories of the Marooned. The Castaways. 5 stories with varying degrees of outcome. Some are stories of triumph. One of them ends in a more cannibalistic fashion. It's gonna get a little crazy. #HistoricallyHigh #Marooned #SurvivalStories #Tomorrow

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Our Servile Wars episode is out now! The wars all had some measure of success. They were also all violently put down. The 3rd war was put down with a message. A 4th war didn't happen possibly because of the 6,000 crucified rebels left as a reminder. #HistoricallyHigh #ServileWars

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

The Servile Wars is up this week in class. The Roman Republic largely let the first 2 servile wars rage in Sicily, until they were too big to ignore. Then Spartacus brought a gladiatorial revolt to Campania. Get ready for a fun episode. #HistoricallyHigh #ServileWars #Spartacus

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Our Dr. Death: Harold Shipman episode is out today! This was Dr. Shipman's private practice. Away from the prying eyes of other doctors, Shipman killed many patients. That was until he killed Kathleen Grundy, and poorly attempted to take her money. #HistoricallyHigh #DrDeath

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Tomorrow we head to England to discuss a deadly doctor. We may never know the real number of murders Dr. Harold Fredrick Shipman committed. That exact number died with him. He may not have even known. Dr. Death.Harold Shipman.Tomorrow. #HistoricallyHigh #DrDeath #TrueCrime

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Our Banana Wars episode is out now! Military intervention has never been something the U.S. has shied away from. Military intervention on behalf of private business is a very different beast. Find out what happened as we get Historically High on the Banana Wars. #HistoricallyHigh #BananaWars

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

The Banana Wars! No, not Dole vs Chiquita. They are both involved though. A lot. In a way a fruit company should not be involved in. Military interventions are not breakfast food business. Join us tomorrow to find out what happened. #HistoricallyHigh #BananaWars

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Our Ben Franklin episode is out today. Franklin was a fan of England. Then they embarrassed him in front of Parliment. Ben never forgot that feeling. He carried the flame of revolution back to the colonies and lit the torch of independence with it. #HistoricallyHigh #BenFranklin

000

Historically High Podcast @historicallyhigh.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Tomorrow we discuss the life of maybe the most important Founding Father. Ben Franklin was an accomplished printer, an inventor, and secured the funds from the French to help win the Revolutionary War. He also may have been a bit of a daddy. #HistoricallyHigh #BenFranklin
