    Episode 116 - The First Presidential Assassination Attempt In U.S. History
    May 29 2024
    Andrew Jackson once declared: "I was born for the storm; calm does not suit me." And throughout his life, Jackson was no stranger to close calls. The scrappy president from Tennessee had been a boy when the Revolutionary War broke out, and he cut his teeth fighting against the British. When he was captured in 1781, a British soldier slashed him for refusing to shine his boots, giving Jackson scars on his hand and face that he bore for the rest of his life. As an adult, Jackson survived a duel that left him with a bullet in his chest, and he was once shot so badly during a Nashville street brawl that he almost lost one of his arms. This is the story of the assassination attempt against Andrew Jackson, and how the president somehow beat the odds — yet again — to live another day. https://allthatsinteresting.com/presidential-assassination-attempts/5 credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    May 15 2024
    Most people know the “Ring Around the Rosie” nursery rhyme, and most people have heard that it has a dark meaning: It’s all about the Black Death, or bubonic plague, which tore through Europe in the 14th century.

    Episode 112 - When Teddy Roosevelt Was Shot By An Assassin — Then Gave A Speech
    Apr 3 2024
    On October 14, 1912, Teddy Roosevelt — then running for an unprecedented third term under the banner of the Bull Moose Party — set out to give a speech at the Milwaukee Auditorium in Wisconsin. En route, he crossed paths with a mentally ill saloon owner named John Schrank. For some reason, Schrank had become convinced that Roosevelt had assassinated President William McKinley in 1901. And so Schrank waited with the crowd, then fired at Roosevelt with a Colt revolver. https://allthatsinteresting.com/teddy-roosevelt-cheating-death credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 110 - The Truth About Mary Magdalene
    Mar 20 2024
    Most depictions of Mary Magdalene in popular culture characterize her in the same way: as a sex worker. In the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, for example, Mary is critiqued by Judas for her "profession" and later describes how she's quote-unquote "had so many men." Indeed, most people, when asked to describe Mary Magdalene, would probably say she was a sex worker, one who became a symbol of forgiveness and redemption through her relationship with Jesus. https://allthatsinteresting.com/mary-magdalene credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Mar 13 2024
    In the 1920s, the hills of northeast Oklahoma were soaked in oil — and blood. Though the oil deposits found in the area had made the Osage Native Americans who owned the land rich, tribe members soon began to die at an alarming rate. And they often died in shocking and violent ways. This is the true story of the Osage Indian Murders and Killers of the Flower Moon. https://allthatsinteresting.com/osage-indian-murders credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
