  • Lancashire Day

    Lancashire Day
    2025/11/27
    There is a certain kind of pride that lives deep in the bones of Lancashire, the sort that does not care what the mapmakers in London dream up or how many times someone redraws a boundary line. Lancashire Day, celebrated every November twenty seven, brings that pride to the surface. It is a moment when town criers step forward, voices rise in old familiar words, and people across the world lift a glass to the Duke of Lancaster. The whole thing feels older than the stones of Lancaster Castle and somehow just as steady. Today we are taking a walk through the history behind this tradition, from Edward I’s Model Parliament to the stubborn survival of the County Palatine. Along the way we will talk food, land, identity, and the red rose that refuses to wilt. This is Lancashire Day, the way history remembers it, and the way Lancastrians still live it.

  • The Great Kansas–Arkansas Pronunciation War

    The Great Kansas–Arkansas Pronunciation War
    2025/11/26
    My father’s family is from Kansas. My mother’s family is from Arkansas. Two states, two names that look almost identical on a map, yet nobody outside the region ever pronounces both correctly on the first try. One is KAN-zoss, crisp and complete. The other is AR-kan-saw, with that final s locked in a vault somewhere near Versailles. The difference comes from the same Native tribes, the same Siouan root word, and two separate crews of French explorers who couldn’t agree on spelling three hundred years ago. Kansas kept the English habit of saying every letter. Arkansas kept the French habit of pretending the last one doesn’t exist, then passed a law in 1881 just to make it official. This is the whole ridiculous, fascinating story: the rivers, the fur traders, the legislative pettiness, and why, to this day, saying either name wrong in the wrong state can still start a fight. Welcome to the show. Let’s finally settle why Kansas and Arkansas refuse to sound alike, and why we all have France to blame.

  • The Real Artemas Ward

    The Real Artemas Ward
    2025/11/26
    Artemas Ward is one of those figures the Revolution seems determined to hide behind a curtain. Everyone knows Washington arrived in Cambridge to take command of the Patriot army. Almost no one remembers the man already holding the lines, organizing the chaos, and keeping the British bottled up long enough for Washington to have something to command. That man was Artemas Ward of Shrewsbury, a careful New England general shaped by Puritan discipline, battlefield lessons, and a stubborn commitment to doing things the right way even when no one was watching. In today’s episode we dig into the true story of the first commander who stood between the Revolution and collapse. Ward never chased glory. He built the structure that saved the cause. We will explore his rise, his conflicts, his quiet victories, and the long fight his family waged to make sure history finally said his name out loud. It is time to bring him into the light.
