    The trouble with Truth
    2026/01/29
    Thomas Paine did not arrive in history as a marble statue or a finished idea. He arrived tired, broke, and angry, with ink on his fingers and a habit of saying the quiet part out loud. When Americans remember the Revolution, they tend to remember generals on horseback and signatures on parchment. They forget the man hunched over scrap paper by candlelight, turning frustration into sentences that ordinary people could understand. Paine did not command armies. He did something far more dangerous. He told people that authority had to justify itself, that tradition was not an argument, and that liberty was not a favor granted by kings. He wrote for farmers, laborers, and soldiers who were cold, unpaid, and uncertain whether any of this was worth the cost. His words did not promise comfort. They demanded courage. This episode follows Paine from obscurity to influence and then into exile, tracing how the same clarity that helped ignite independence later made him unwelcome in polite company. He was celebrated when he was useful and discarded when he refused to stop asking questions. By the end of his life, the nation he helped create no longer knew what to do with him. This is not a story about a flawless founder. It is the story of a necessary one. A man who believed that common sense was revolutionary, and who paid the price for proving it.

  • The Rocky Mountain Submarine

    The Rocky Mountain Submarine
    2026/01/28
    It sounds like a tall tale told too late at night. A submarine in the Rocky Mountains, sitting on a frozen lake nearly nine thousand feet above sea level, more than a thousand miles from the nearest ocean. But this story is not folklore. It is documented, photographed, and quietly stubborn in its facts. In the winter of 1944, residents of Central City, Colorado watched a rusted, cigar shaped vessel rise from the ice of Missouri Lake after forty-five years underwater. The band played a patriotic tune better suited to a harbor than a mining camp, and someone cracked a joke about the longest crash dive in history. They were not wrong. This is the story of the Rocky Mountain submarine, built in secret in 1898 by a skilled and eccentric engineer named Rufus T. Owens. It is a story about ambition, miscalculation, and the peculiar American habit of attempting the impossible simply because no one has proven it cannot be done.

  • DDH - March of the Mercenaries

    DDH - March of the Mercenaries
    2026/01/27
    When we talk about the Declaration of Independence, we tend to remember the poetry. Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Big ideas, clean ideals, a nation imagining itself into being. But that is only half the document. The Declaration is also an indictment, and one of its most furious charges accuses King George the Third of doing something unforgivable by eighteenth century standards. Transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to make war on his own people. That line is not rhetorical flourish. It is a line in the sand. In this episode, we are going to unpack why that accusation mattered so much, how the soldier trade actually worked, and why the arrival of German troops transformed a political dispute into an irreversible break. We will look at fear, propaganda, theology, and cold hard contracts that priced human lives by the head. This is the moment when reconciliation died, and independence became inevitable.
