Tolling of the Boats - January 8:57

1h ago8:57

8:57

January does not announce itself gently in naval history. It arrives cold, dark, and already carrying the weight of decisions made months or years earlier. For the United States submarine force, January became a recurring point of reckoning, a month when machinery, weather, navigation, and war itself seemed to conspire against boats already stretch…

This week on Dave Does History with Bill Mick, the Liberty 250 series moves from pamphlets and protests into something far less abstract. Fire. Shells. Families running inland with what they can carry. A royal governor ruling from the deck of a warship because the land beneath him has rejected his authority. History stops being theoretical and star…

The USS Samuel Rayburn SSBN-635 entered the world quietly, as most serious things do, laid down in December 1962 while the Cuban Missile Crisis was still a fresh bruise on the national psyche. The men who authorized her construction did not need speeches or slogans to understand what they were building. They were responding to a moment when the mar…

Want to get away from the crowds? Want a high mountain lake or stream all to yourself? The best way to do this is to take a backpacking trip, but you need to prepare more than you would for a car trip or a trip to a lodge. What exactly should you take and what should you leave behind?

WTF - Only (Need 100) Fans 58:33

In this episode, we wander cheerfully from missed dates and misplaced years into Venezuela, oil, China’s long game, and why shouting slogans is not the same thing as understanding history. We detour through California’s latest attempt to fix humanity by statute, ask whether public health works better with consent than compulsion, and then take a sh…

The Destroyer Killer 5:26

3d ago5:26

5:26

January 3, 1945 arrived quietly in Texas, but the news that settled over Dallas was anything but. The wire stories spoke with the cautious gravity of wartime language, careful not to say too much and yet saying enough. Commander Samuel David Dealey, one of the most successful submarine skippers in United States naval history, was missing in action.…

As saltwater anglers, we've all dealt with the ugly reality of bottom paint. You spend six figures on a beautiful boat, only to have someone slap what looks like an "ugly wig" on the hull. Then you're paying divers constantly to scrape it clean, dealing with toxic chemicals leaching into our fishing waters, and repeating this expensive, environment…

Pouring Out The Libations of HIstory 5:19

Today we are talking about something older than empires and more stubborn than forgetting. It is the simple act of remembering the people history does not bother to name. Long before textbooks and archives, people poured out libations. Wine, oil, water, a small offering tipped onto the ground to say someone lived, someone mattered, someone was not …

41 Cold War Sentinels - USS George C. Marshall SSBN-654 7:43

6d ago7:43

7:43

The USS George C. Marshall was never built to be admired. She was built to be trusted. Like her namesake, she existed for moments when patience mattered more than drama and restraint mattered more than applause. In the Cold War Navy, that was not a slogan. It was a job description.By [email protected]

George Catlett Marshall is one of those figures whose importance becomes clearer the longer one studies him and more puzzling the more one tries to summarize him neatly. He does not lend himself to slogans or cinematic shorthand. There is no single moment that captures him, no battlefield pose that defines his legacy. Instead there is a long accumu…

The Fall of the Nagid 4:52

Granada in the winter of 1066 was not supposed to end like this. If you had asked a court poet, a tax collector, or a Jewish merchant counting bolts of cloth in the souk, they would have told you that the age was precarious but workable, dangerous but dazzling. Al-Andalus still wore the reputation of refinement like a borrowed robe, a land where Ar…

The Dreadful Tale 5:27

December 29, 1876, did not begin as a legend. It began as weather, the sort of Lake Erie weather that has always made honest people glance at the window and reconsider their plans. A blizzard rolled in with the hard confidence of something older than railroads, older than schedules, older than the idea that human beings can bargain with nature if t…

WTF - Auld Lang Syne 54:28

There are moments in the modern age when one must pause, stare into the middle distance, and ask a question of profound existential importance. Not questions like “Why are we here?” or “Is there life on other planets?” but the truly unsettling ones. Questions such as, “Why does my phone know what I want before I do?” and “When did Christmas become …

41 Cold War Sentinels - USS Woodrow Wilson SSBN-624 5:52

9d ago5:52

5:52

The USS Woodrow Wilson belonged to a generation of submarines that were never meant to be seen, remembered, or celebrated in the usual way. She was built to disappear, to wait, and to make catastrophe unnecessary by making it inevitable in theory. As a Lafayette-class fleet ballistic missile submarine, she formed part of the original “Forty-One for…

The Smartest Man in the Room 5:48

The first thing to understand about Woodrow Wilson is that he never stopped believing he was the smartest man in the room, and he never doubted that this was a public service. Wilson did not enter politics the way most politicians do, by compromise, instinct, or appetite for power. He entered it as a man convinced that history itself had been waiti…

The Zwickau Prophets 6:12

In the early winter of 1521, the Protestant Reformation faced a danger far more unsettling than popes or emperors. Its greatest threat came from men who claimed to speak for God directly. With Martin Luther in hiding and Wittenberg without its anchor, three radical preachers arrived from Zwickau insisting that Scripture was no longer enough. The Sp…

The Decemberists 5:25

5:25

The morning of December 26, 1825 (O.S.), opened in St. Petersburg the way Russian winter mornings often do, with cold that does not so much bite as settle in and refuse to leave. Senate Square lay hard and white under the sky, the Neva locked beneath ice thick enough to bear cannon and men, or so it seemed until it did not. By midmorning, roughly t…

Washington's Crossing 4:51

Every nation has a moment when the story almost ends. For the American Revolution, that moment came in December of 1776. The army was shrinking. The government was running. The public was tired. Even George Washington thought the game might be nearly up. What followed was not a miracle and not a legend. It was a gamble made by exhausted men in free…

Backcast: Foraging Along Trout Streams, with Sam Thayer 1:20:50

15d ago1:20:50

1:20:50

This episode was originally published on July 14th, 2023. I think most stream anglers are interested in foraging, since we're immersed in nature all day long and although we watch for fish and insects and birds, many of us don't pay attention to the plants. And there are many delicious plants along trout streams you can take home for dinner—most of…
