  • You Can Be Sure...
    Oct 6 2025

    George Westinghouse was a man who refused to settle for “good enough.” Born on October 6, 1846, he became one of America’s greatest inventors and industrialists, a name forever linked with safety, innovation, and light itself. From the invention of the railroad air brake to the creation of the first natural gas distribution system, Westinghouse transformed how the world moved and powered itself.

    While Thomas Edison fought to keep electricity confined to city blocks, Westinghouse looked to the horizon. By championing alternating current and teaming up with Nikola Tesla, he lit the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and proved that AC could carry power across miles, changing history forever.

    In this episode of Dave Does History, we explore the life, work, and vision of the man whose name became a promise: “You can be sure if it’s Westinghouse.” His ideas didn’t just shape an industry. They built the modern world.

  • The Women March
    Oct 5 2025

    It began with the sound of a drum in the rain. On October 5, 1789, thousands of women left the markets of Paris and marched toward Versailles, hungry, furious, and unafraid. They demanded bread, but what they carried was something far heavier: the voice of a nation on the edge of change.

    By the end of that march, the King and Queen would no longer rule from their gilded palace. They would be brought to Paris under the eyes of their people, and the balance of power in France would shift forever. The Women’s March on Versailles was not just a protest over hunger. It was the moment when ordinary citizens, led by women, forced the monarchy to face the Revolution it had tried to ignore.

    This is the story of courage, desperation, and the day the people came for their King.

  • "Little Sput"
    Oct 4 2025

    On October 4th, 1957, a polished silver sphere with four antennae rose into the night sky atop a Soviet rocket. Moments later, the world was listening to a sound that would echo through history: beep-beep, beep-beep. This was Sputnik, the first artificial satellite ever launched into orbit, and its success shocked the globe. To the Soviets, it was proof of scientific brilliance and a political coup. To the United States, it was a jolt of fear that revealed a potential missile gap and the unsettling reality that the Cold War had now extended into the heavens. Schools, scientists, and politicians scrambled to respond, and within a year, NASA was born. The launch of Sputnik was more than just a technological milestone. It was the starting gun for the Space Race, a moment when humanity left Earth behind and began a journey that would change the modern world forever.
