  • Canadian Lakes... and Terrorists
    2026/08/28
    Canada spent years insisting that historical names could be changed when modern values demanded it. Streets, universities, public buildings, and monuments were renamed or removed, while Canadians were assured that changing a name did not erase history. Then President Trump called Lake Ontario “Lake America,” and suddenly names became sacred vessels carrying centuries of history. In this episode, Dave examines Canada’s curious double standard, along with reported CBC guidance that replaces the plain description of September 11 as a terrorist attack with language about “hijackings” and passenger-jet “crashes.” Apparently, names and words still matter in Canada, especially when Americans are holding the Sharpie.

  • Camp Fortunate
    2026/08/25
    What happens when the map is wrong, the river runs out, and the plan that brought you across a continent can take you no farther? In August 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition reached the Continental Divide expecting to find a practical water route leading west toward the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. Instead, the Corps of Discovery encountered mountain ranges stretching across the horizon, rivers too swift and rocky for navigation, dwindling food supplies, and the possibility that the expedition might have to turn back. Yet at this moment of uncertainty, an extraordinary reunion changed everything. Sacagawea had been kidnapped from her Shoshone people as a child and carried east by Hidatsa raiders. Now, returning to her homeland with Lewis and Clark, she discovered that the Shoshone chief with whom the captains desperately needed to negotiate was her brother, Cameahwait. Their emotional reunion helped establish the trust the expedition needed to obtain horses, guides, and assistance for the journey ahead. The encounter occurred at a place Lewis called Camp Fortunate. Today, the historic campsite lies beneath Clark Canyon Reservoir in southwestern Montana. In 1805, it became the setting for one of the expedition’s most consequential decisions. The Corps had arrived as river travelers. If the mission were to continue, the men would have to leave their boats behind and enter the mountains on horseback. That meant accepting that their maps and assumptions were wrong without concluding that the mission itself had failed. In this episode of Dave Does History, Dave Bowman joins Bill Mick to examine Sacagawea’s homecoming, the collapse of Lewis and Clark’s geographical expectations, Meriwether Lewis’s revealing reflections on his thirty-first birthday, and the leadership lesson hidden beneath the waters of Camp Fortunate. Sometimes perseverance does not mean following the original plan. Sometimes it means remembering the purpose, listening to those who know the terrain, and finding another way forward.

  • The Cult in Your Pocket
    2026/08/23
    The internet was supposed to give us access to the accumulated knowledge of humanity. Instead, it may be making it harder to agree on what is true. This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod wrestle with a question that has become increasingly difficult to ignore: What happens when the device in your pocket doesn't merely provide information, but begins shaping the way you understand the world? It starts with something personal. Dave discovers just how much time his sixteen-year-old son is spending online and begins thinking about the phenomenon of internet radicalization. Years ago, Americans wondered how ISIS recruiters could reach ordinary young people through a computer screen and gradually pull them into an entirely different understanding of reality. Today, the machinery is everywhere. Social media feeds reinforce what people already believe. Algorithms learn what keeps them watching. Repetition begins to feel like confirmation. Emotion can overwhelm evidence. Eventually, contrary information may no longer challenge a belief at all. It can simply become further proof that the other side cannot be trusted. Dave and Rod explore the uncomfortable similarities between that process and the psychology of cults, along with the problem faced by anyone trying to remain skeptical in an environment where every side claims to possess the facts. But underneath the politics, misinformation, echo chambers and algorithms is a much more personal question. What happens when someone you love begins seeing the world through that screen? And what can a parent, friend, teacher, podcaster, or ordinary citizen possibly do about it? This week, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod go looking for answers, or at least for the right questions. This is What The Frock?
