    Berlin Airlift
    Mar 31 2026
    There is an old adage that says infantry wins battles, but logistics win wars. And the Cold War was no different. When the Soviet Union cut off all land and river access to West Berlin, the Americans and British organized the Berlin Airlift. Over the course of 15 months over 278,000 flights delivered more than 2.3 million tons of cargo to keep the besieged city afloat. It is one of the greatest logistical achievements in history. This is the story of the Berlin Airlift. Sponsor Go to factormeals.com/dispatchespod50off to get 50 percent off and free breakfast for a year.

    Nazca Lines
    Mar 27 2026
    If you flew over the Nazca Desert in southern Peru, you would be astounded to see hundreds of miles of lines drawn into the earth. These lines created massive shapes - including animals and plants. The designs - called geoglyphs - were made more than 2,000 years ago. But who made them? And why? Was it aliens? This is the story of the mysterious ​​​Nazca lines. Sponsor Go to factormeals.com/dispatchespod50off to get 50 percent off and free breakfast for a year.
