This week on Hashtag History, we interview Carol Daly, one of the lead investigators on the Golden State Killer case. She was also the first woman appointed as Undersheriff with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, the first woman appointed Chair of the Board of Prison Terms…and so many more firsts for women in the Sacramento law enforcement!

2023/04/04

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing Joseph James DeAngelo, also known as the Golden State Killer. DeAngelo tormented the State of California - particularly here in the Sacramento area (very, very close to where we live) - for more than ten years committing burglaries, rapes, and murders. Due to his widespread crimes, it took investigators more than four decades to piece together the fact that the man that had become known as the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, and the

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing Galileo Galilei. He is considered to be the Father of Modern Science and, by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, is considered to be “a - if not the - central figure of the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century”. We have Galileo to thank for significant contributions to various fields of science, mathematics, philosophy, and physics. He studied and made huge contributions to areas such as gravity and relativity, inertia, and speed

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the 1985 MOVE Bombing in which the City of Philadelphia bombed and killed its own people. On May 13, 1985, the Philadelphia Police Department dropped a bomb onto a West Philadelphia home that they knew to be occupied by men, women, and children. Those residing within this house were a part of MOVE, a Black liberation group founded on the principles of racial justice, and other causes such as animal and environmental rights.

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the History of the British Museum. The British Museum truly has everything…and that’s exactly the problem. The British Museum is home to roughly eight million objects; the majority of which aren’t even on display for you to see! But of their high-ticket items that are on display, it is safe to say that a good chunk of them…were stolen. In this episode, we will discuss the History of the British Museum, its origins, how it managed to acquire so many

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing Sam Cooke. He is one of my (Rachel's) favorite musical artists and, upon learning that he was also a huge advocate of the Civil Rights Movement and that he died a truly tragic (and incredibly mysterious death) at only thirty-three years old, just has me even more fascinated with the artist behind the art.

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc is of course most well-known for leading the French army to victory during the Hundred Years War when she was only a teenager. She claimed that she had been sent visions by God and that she was fulfilling a prophecy by leading France to victory. She would later be captured, however, by the enemy that considered her a heretic and she would be burned at the stake for her alleged crimes. About twenty years after her death, she

EP 123: The War of 1812 (A Brief History)

2023/02/21

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the War of 1812. Now you all know that I am not a huge fan of Military History. In fact, it is my least favorite part about History. However, I have always found the War of 1812 fascinating in that it tends to so often be overlooked. Many Americans are not aware that we literally went to war again with Great Britain roughly thirty years after we had won our independence from them. This episode is not a thorough review of the War of 1812. We will

This is the story of a woman who was murdered outside of an apartment building in a highly populated area of New York and -- despite the fact that dozens of people witnessed the murder -- not a single one called the police. This is a story that has circulated for decades. The Bystander Effect which essentially says that humans -- when in the presence of others -- are less likely to step up and take

This week, we are going to be diving into more of the unhappiness in Diana and Charles’ marriage, the affairs that led - in part - to their awful divorce, the brief period of time that Diana appeared to absolutely thrive post-divorce, her amazing charity work, and then her unfortunate and untimely death and all of the conspiracy theories surrounding that.

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing Princess Diana (more accurately, Diana, Princess of Wales) who married into the British Royal Family in 1981, becoming one of the most cherished, loved, and misunderstood figures in History all before her absolutely tragic and untimely death in 1997 when she was only thirty-six years old. There is so much to say about Diana; the good, the bad, and the ugly. We admire so much about her…but that doesn’t mean she was a perfect person. She was human,

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the mysterious Civil War Glow. This refers to a phenomenon that was spotted during the Civil War - during the Battle of Shiloh of 1862 - in which a number of soldiers were seen with a mysterious glow emanating from their wounds. Although unexplainable by both the soldiers experiencing the glow and by the doctors treating them, it was found that the soldiers whose wounds glowed actually had a better chance at living than those that did not.

After more than seventy years, the identification of the mysterious Somerton Man has - maybe - been discovered. So who is/was the Somerton Man? On December 1, 1948, the body of a man was discovered on the Somerton Park Beach in Adelaide, Australia.
