    For a few tense hours in October 2009, the entire world watched as a homemade aircraft purportedly carrying a 6-year-old boy drifted in mid-air on live television. When the balloon landed, there was no boy inside.

  • Very Special Episodes: JFK's Forgotten Summer as a Journalist (with Rob Reiner)
    Aug 16 2025

    Eighty years ago this summer, a young John F. Kennedy took a job as a journalist for Hearst newspapers, filing dispatches in the final days of World War II. Even the most seasoned JFK scholars often overlook this chapter.

    Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Fred Logevall and legendary director Rob Reiner join Dana Schwartz to explore the forgotten summer that helped shape Kennedy's worldview.

  • Who's Afraid of the Duchess of Newcastle (Part One)
    Aug 12 2025

    In 'A Room of One's Own,' Virginia Woolf writes of Margaret Cavendish's reputation: "Evidentally the crazy Duchess became a bogey to frighten clever girls with." Dismisses as mad in her own time, and untalented later, Cavendish remains something of an enigma, a strange proto-feminist, proto-science fiction writer who remained entirely untamed.

I have to admit that when I started listening to this podcast about a year ago, it was an accident. I simply searched up a good history podcast to listen to every night on my Alexa device. And ever since then, I have been hooked on it. I absolutely adore Dana’s perspective and breakdown of significant moments in history. Her voice is also easy to follow and listen too. I love how she calls out past ways of thinking. I know so much more about extraordinary stories throughout the centuries. Dana and the rest of the Noble Blood team thank you for this gem!
