The Gears of War episode is out now! Prof. Chris never ceases to amaze when it comes to fictional histories. I didn't know this universe existed. After hearing the episode, I'm the closest I've ever been to being jealous of Xbox people. Listen in now #HistoricallyHigh #GearsofWar

This week Chris gives us the Fictional History of Gears of War! A video game series that inspired a novel series to fill in the gaps. As a Playstation guy, I had no knowledge of Gears of War. World wars, love stories, and locusts. A lot to enjoy! #HistoricallyHigh #GearsofWar

The Great Depression: Global Edition is out now! The Depression was a dark time in history. It's easy to get caught up in the stories of what occurred at home. The stories from abroad fill in a lot of details on the road to what happened next. #HistoricallyHigh #GreatDepression

Last week we took on the Depression in the U.S.. This week we take on the Great Depression around the world. 1933: British unemployment- ~25%, German unemployment-~30%, Canadian unemployment ~27%, French unemployment...4%. Why? Find out tomorrow #HistoricallyHigh #GreatDepression

Part 1 of The Great Depression is out now! The Stock Market Crash hurt. The Dust Bowl hurt. Hoover's Laissez-faire approach hurt. Banks collapsing with 7 billion dollars in customer deposits vanishing was lethal. See you in the episode. #HistoricallyHigh #GreatDepression

@LanceEberhardt Ahhhh "killed by a bomb" on the grave marker is awesome! Horrific way to go out, but that's one of the coolest sayings on a headstone I've ever seen. We will definitely get to the James Gang

Tomorrow is going to be all about the legend Butch Cassidy! He may be one of the most likable outlaws ever. That's one reason why they chose the ruggedly handsome Paul Newman to play him. Butch and Sundance. Newman and Redford. Dynamic duos #HistoricallyHigh #ButchCassidy #yeehaw

Tomorrow will be part 1 of 2 on The Great Depression. The tailspin after the stock market crash felt like wearing a pair of cement shoes while swimming in the East River. At the height of the GD, 1 in 4 Americans in the workforce were unemployed #HistoricallyHigh #GreatDepression

Our Butch Cassidy episode is out now! He may not have been Robin Hood robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, but he was robbing from the rich and buying from the poor. That or blowing robbery money at the best brothels in the west. #HistoricallyHigh #ButchCassidy #wildwest

@TennesseFanJack I'm sure we could work our way into some. Just need to find a good entry point

Our Battle of Kursk ep is out now! Hitler had the Allies knocking in the south, and a defeat Stalingrad, but instead of going on defense, he wanted offense. The Soviets rejected his advances, and the Allies slid in his backdoor. Bad July for Hitler #HistoricallyHigh #Kursk #WW2

This week's class is going to be centered around the Battle of Kursk! If you were wondering what happened after the Germans were defeated at Stalingrad, it is an ill-advised offensive to smash the Kursk salient. This is a heavy tank episode #HistoricallyHigh #BattleofKursk #WW2

Our Disneyland episode is out now! Disneyland is built to play to the senses of a guest. Stunning visuals, exciting rides, nostalgia inducing characters, Dole Whips, fireworks, and...Smellitizers? A what? You're going to have to listen to find out. #HistoricallyHigh #Disneyland

Tomorrow Professor Chris takes us on a journey through the history of Disneyland, what has stood the test of time in the park, and what has changed. I'm not a big Disney guy. This episode has me ready to get a Dole Whip and jump on the Jungle Cruise. #HistoricallyHigh #Disneyland

Our Catherine the Great episode is out now! The Russian Empire had 2 greats. Peter dragged Russia out of the past. He was crazy, but effective. Catherine continued the mission of modernizing the empire. Less crazy, but still very entertaining #HistoricallyHigh #CatherinetheGreat

Tomorrow we head back to Russia. As we learned from Peter the Great, the Russian Empire was nuts! Catherine the Great was no exception, except... she wasn't a Romanov. She had to take out PtG's grandson/her husband, to take the throne. #HistoricallyHigh #CatherinetheGreat

Our Castaways episode is out now! I don't know if any of the survivors in this episode would consider themselves lucky. The things they saw and did haunted them for life, but there are a whole lot of castaway stories that never got a chance to be told. #HistoricallyHigh #Marooned

Tomorrow we get into the stories of the Marooned. The Castaways. 5 stories with varying degrees of outcome. Some are stories of triumph. One of them ends in a more cannibalistic fashion. It's gonna get a little crazy. #HistoricallyHigh #Marooned #SurvivalStories #Tomorrow

Our Servile Wars episode is out now! The wars all had some measure of success. They were also all violently put down. The 3rd war was put down with a message. A 4th war didn't happen possibly because of the 6,000 crucified rebels left as a reminder. #HistoricallyHigh #ServileWars

@Billy10103645 Glad to have you listening!

The Servile Wars is up this week in class. The Roman Republic largely let the first 2 servile wars rage in Sicily, until they were too big to ignore. Then Spartacus brought a gladiatorial revolt to Campania. Get ready for a fun episode. #HistoricallyHigh #ServileWars #Spartacus
