PREVIEW: South Korea, Plutonium, and Nuclear Proliferation Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski addresses the Department of Energy's plutonium availability and the possibility of South Korea acquiring or producing plutonium to match North Korea's nuclear capabilities.

PREVIEW: Quantum Computing: The Next Frontier Guest: Brandon Weichert Brandon Weichert reports on quantum computing as the "next wave" and frontier of computational power.

On November 1, 1512, Michelangelo unveiled the Sistine Chapel ceiling to Pope Julius II, and the art world collectively gasped in astonishment. After four grueling years of painting while contorted on scaffolding, often with paint dripping into his eyes and developing chronic neck and back pain, the 37-year-old artist had transformed the 5,000-square-foot ceiling into a breathtaking masterpiece that would redefine Renaissance art.Imagine the scene: The notoriously temperamental Pope Julius II, who

Toward the end of World War II, the German Type VIIC submarine was acknowledged to be one of the most advanced -- and deadliest -- predators on the seas. Yet, in at least one case, some of the same technological breakthroughs that made these subs astonishing also led to their demise. Join the guys as they dive (get it?) into the strange story of U-1206 and the high-tech toilet that led to its doom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On November 30, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland. The Soviet Union forced the Finns to sue for peace after three months of fighting, and on paper, one could conclude that the Soviets won. However, despite the supposed military victory, the Soviets' performance and the resistance they faced severely damaged their reputation as a military force to be taken seriously. It was something that other European leaders took notice of. Learn about the Winter War on this episode of Everything

In the 1960s, there were 36,000 Americans living in the Canal Zone. They had Friday night high school football games, sock hops, and Hollywood movies at the local theater. It looked like a mid-century American town had been dropped into the Panamanian jungle — because that’s exactly what it was. But many Panamanians weren’t happy with this “country-in-a-country” arrangement. What would it take to get the Americans to leave? The answer, it turns out, was a bunch of

What kind of epidemic could turn a thriving American city into a ghost town almost overnight? Join me as I explore the chilling story of the 1878 yellow fever epidemic—a public health disaster that decimated Memphis and echoed far beyond the Mississippi River Valley. While yellow fever had haunted the U.S. since the slave trade, it was the post–Civil War era—with its railroads, riverboats, and lack of national infrastructure—that turned an outbreak into a catastrophe. The fever emptied cities...

Just off the coast of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, lies a tiny strip of sand and scrub known as Drunken Jack Island — a place born from rum, revelry, and one very unlucky pirate. Local legend says Jack was part of Blackbeard’s crew, left behind after a night of heavy drinking when the tide rolled out and the ship set sail without him. Stranded with nothing but barrels of rum and the company of seabirds, Jack’s final days became the kind of story coastal towns never forget. Want to Listen to
