Every Black family knows there is that one matriarch that holds it all down. To the government, her name is Cordelia Hill, but to our family, she is known as Queen Mother and more affectionally to her granddaughter, Mimi Jacks, as Dee Dee.  Queen Mother is 92 years old and has had eight children, lived through one of the most devastating tornadoes in history, received a college degree at 61 and is two ancestors away from relatives that were slaves.  In this podcast, we hear Queen Mother share her experiences in her own voice.  We also hear her children share what it was like to grow up with her as their mother. If you ever had a connection to that one special person in your life and wondered about their story, this podcast is for you. Get ready to adopt Mrs. Hill as YOUR Queen Mother! This is The Legend of Dee Dee.

On November 11th 2004, 14-year-old Conrad Cliff jackhammered into the water main at The Royal Galleria near Belmont, California. Twenty-three people drowned. Three people were electrocuted in the arcade. Two people were fatally bitten by a hammerhead shark that escaped from the mall's aquarium. And the teenager responsible was never found. No body. No trace. Blair Van Auken was with Conrad at the mall that day but refused to speak about the incident for 18 years. Until now. This is a 6 part series on madness, machines, and melancholy in the MallScape of America. This is MallWalk.

Over the years I have become friends with many Vietnam Special Forces MACV SOG men. It has been an honor. First they trusted me to share stories of their war in my publication Pucker Factor stories of MACV SOG. Most of these had never publicly been spoken about. Now I begin a new challenge to get them to speak publicly about their covert lives of being behind enemy lines or engaging the well trained enemy on their own territory. These warriors will not be with us forever. It is important we learn the histories of such men now.

Florida has a population of 22 million residents and welcomed more than 137 million visitors last year. And although the overall crime rate has dropped for an incredible 50 straight years, there are still more than 19,000 unsolved homicides in Florida dating back to 1965. The Cold Case Florida Podcast was created by the Florida Sheriffs Association to highlight some of those cases and offer the public an opportunity to help solve these crimes – bringing justice to the perpetrators and giving closure to the families. Join us as we work with local sheriffs’ offices to close cold cases in the sunshine state. Thank you to the participating sheriffs and their teams for assistance in the production of this podcast.

Harlots dives into the lives of the people lost to the shadows of history: the mistresses. Usually dubbed “harlots”, these women (and men) are often the villains of the story...if they're even mentioned at all. Join host GennaRose Nethercott for a peek beneath the sheets at some of the most scandalous affairs in history. Produced by Aaron Mahnke (Lore) and narrated by GennaRose Nethercott (Thistlefoot).

Brookings scholar Stephen Hess didn't plan to start working in Eisenhower's White House at age 25—he began his career at the heart of American politics quite by accident. Hosted by Katie Dunn Tenpas, Hess shares some of his favorite stories from 60 years as a presidential staffer, advisor, and scholar in Washington, D.C.

The first three hundred years of colonization of Manhattan Island and its resounding impact on our culture and our world. Created and hosted by actor, writer, and New Yorker Chance Kelly, the series illustrates how this place is an island unto itself, not just geographically, but idealistically, philosophically and spiritually. Island uncovers our true lost American History. It examines the city's effect on religious and personal freedoms throughout the world. Chance's own heritage is central to much of this story directly as his great, great, great uncle Honest John Kelly, himself emerged from the slums of Five Points to become one of the first Irish-Catholic Congressmen in 1856, and would later reform the reeling Tammany Hall in the wake of the Boss Tweed era. John Kelly was a fiercely courageous advocate for oppressed immigrants from everywhere. Island is the character-driven portrait of the inimitable souls responsible for a place founded on capitalism but perpetuated on an infectious and unapologetic measure of tolerance. Our narrative begins in 1609 when Henry Hudson happens upon Manhattan and the river that would come to bear his name, and culminates in 1909 when Western interloper William Randolph Hearst has infiltrated New York publishing and the fistfight that is Manhattan politics. Climb aboard this voyage of discovery as we tell the epic story, over three centuries, of the forging of the epicenter of the universe. Researched, written and produced by Chance Kelly and Dr. Jaap Jacobs. Research Associate James Edward Malin. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Often we are taught history from the point of view of the wealthy businessman or politician. The history lessons we learn in schools are picked through for you, the books are sorted through before the students get there. Hobo History is just a place to learn a few stories that get passed over, or to learn about the historical figures that were left out of what we happen to be taught about working class history.

Today, the Navajo Nation has no guaranteed right to use the water that flows in and around their reservation. In this season of "Reclaimed: The Lifeblood of Navajo Nation," journalist Charly Edsitty follows the history of oppression and exclusion that kept the Navajo from their water -- and traces the fight to reclaim their sovereignty. Now, the Navajo people are demanding their water back, and they’re closer than ever to securing this basic human right. Last season, “Reclaimed: The Forgotten League” told the stories of professional baseball’s often-overlooked greats and how newly acknowledged Negro Leagues statistics could rewrite history books. Earlier seasons included “The Story of Mamie Till-Mobley,” recognized with the Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Podcast, and “Tulsa’s Buried Truth,” on the search for mass graves beneath Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the fight for justice for the descendants of the Black Americans killed in the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

"In Plain Sight: Lady Bird Johnson" presents a surprising and original portrait of Lady Bird Johnson, told in the former first lady's own words -- from over 123 hours of her White House audio diaries, heard here largely for the first time ever. It recasts Lady Bird's role in the Johnson White House as her husband's closest advisor and most trusted political partner and provides history-making revelations about LBJ's time in office. It's the story of how one vastly underestimated woman navigated the power, politics and polarization of her era to become one of the most influential members of the Johnson administration... even if we never knew it. An eight-part series from ABC Audio & Best Case Studios. Hosted by New York Times bestselling author Julia Sweig.
