    DDH - The Christmas Carol
    2025/12/23
    Every December we return to A Christmas Carol the way we return to familiar music. We know the notes. We know the ending. We know exactly how it is supposed to make us feel. And that is precisely the problem. In this episode of Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, we pull the story back out of its comfortable holiday wrapping and look at what Dickens was actually doing in 1843. This was not a bedtime story. It was a warning. Dickens was not trying to redeem one grumpy old man. He was indicting a society that had learned how to explain suffering away with respectable words and tidy laws. Scrooge is not a monster. He is lawful, rational, and catastrophically wrong. The ghosts are not magical fixes. They expose. They accuse. They do not excuse. This episode asks the question Dickens intended. Not whether Scrooge changed, but whether we ever do once the lights come up and the book is closed.

  • WTF - Merry Christmas, You Wankers

    WTF - Merry Christmas, You Wankers
    2025/12/21
    Welcome to *What the Frock*, where the holiday cheer comes with footnotes and the goodwill is thoroughly cross examined. In this episode, Dave and Rod wander straight into Victorian England, a place absolutely convinced it had solved humanity, morality, and the correct volume at which joy should be expressed. Spoiler alert, it had not. What starts as a simple question, why Americans say “Merry Christmas” while Brits insist on “Happy Christmas,” turns into a full scale rummage through moral panic, class anxiety, bad history, and the peculiar Victorian talent for turning joy into a character flaw. Along the way, Dickens gets his due, Malthus gets side eyed, and the idea that suffering builds character gets dragged into the light where it does not age well. If you like your Christmas thoughtful, argumentative, slightly irreverent, and allergic to smug certainty, you are in the right place. Say it however you like. Just understand why some people were afraid of the word “merry.”

    The Rebpublic of Fredonia
    2025/12/21
    On the morning of December 21, 1826, a flag went up over the Old Stone Fort at Nacogdoches. It was red over white, roughly made, stitched by hands more accustomed to frontier repairs than nation building. It did not rise to the sound of drums or cannon. It was hauled up on a wooden pole by men who looked over their shoulders as often as they looked at their handiwork. Beneath it stood a small crowd, some curious, some committed, most uncertain. The flag announced the birth of the Republic of Fredonia.
