"I love the smell of napalm in the morning." – Apocalypse Now

🎧 Join Joe and Zack as they dive into the explosive history of the Vietnam War — a brutal, complex clash of ideologies that reshaped Southeast Asia and rocked the world.

This is Part One of our Vietnam War Series — covering the roots of a conflict that became a cultural touchstone, inspiring unforgettable films, powerful protest music, and a wave of anti-government sentiment.

👉 In this episode, we unpack:

• 🟥 From Colonisation to Liberation: How Vietnam transformed under French rule, Japanese occupation, and eventually found independence post-WWII.
• ⚔️ A Country Divided: North vs. South Vietnam – the simmering tensions that echoed Korea’s split.
• 🦅 The American Lens: Why U.S. presidents got involved, their Cold War mindset, and the fear of the rising Red Tide .

🍻 Grab a drink, press play, and ride the historical wave through the '50s, '60s, and '70s — featuring the sounds of Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, and Creedence Clearwater Revival 🎶.
