(Originally published Oct., 2023) This installment in the Woodrow Wilson series covers the period of the Wilson presidency from the summer of 1914 through the end of that year, when he said he wanted to keep the US neutral & out of the war, & still seemed to at least kinda mean it. (*Apologies for the lackluster audio quality in some of the middle segments – I accidentally used my laptop’s crummy integral mic instead of my usual podcasting mic for those.)

(Originally published June, 2023) We’ve all heard of the famous ‘butterfly effect.’ But is there a plausible, realistic, alternative historical scenario in which the US & the world could’ve been spared the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson’s presidency merely by altering one seemingly minor detail of the 1912 election? Yes there is. Join CJ in this super-concise DHP episode as he discusses just such a scenario, whereby changing only one seemingly humble variable in 1912 would probably have given the US a POTUS who would’ve kept the country out of WWI & thereby avoided the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson.

(Originally published Feb., 2023) CJ returns to the story of the man he loves to hate! This time, we’re going to take a detour from the chrono-narrative of Wilson’s presidency; this one is going to focus on Wilson’s beliefs, statements & actions on race throughout his career as an academic & politician. Was Woodrow Wilson a racist? The short answer is yes, without a doubt. But as is so often the case with history, the details are more complicated & more interesting than most people realize! Join CJ as he does a deep-dive exploration into Woodrow Wilson’s beliefs, statements, & actions regarding race through his academic & political careers.

(Originally published Oct., 2022) In part 1 of 2, join CJ as he discusses the Motion Picture Association of America’s so-called “Hays Code” (officially: “A Code to Govern the Making of Motion Pictures”), which rigidly controlled the content of most American movies from the early-1930s to the late-1960s.

(Originally published July, 2022) Finally! Here it is – the longest and, I believe, the most important Dangerous History Podcast episode I’ve done to date! (I recorded the first of many segments for this episode all the way back in April, and had been researching & composing notes for it for many months before that!) Join CJ as he discusses the massive British propaganda operation in the US that ran from 1914-1917 (during the period of American “neutrality”), which was a crucial factor in eventually bringing the US into World War I.

(Originally published Dec., 2021) Harkening back to a DHP series on important concepts & theories from 5 years ago, CJ decided to put together another such series for 2021, this time zeroing in on 13 concepts & theories that have been on display in a big way since the beginning of Covid Madness (and all that has come along with it) in spring of 2020. This first episode in the series will cover the first 4 concepts & theories.
