Episode 116 - The First Presidential Assassination Attempt In U.S. History

Andrew Jackson once declared: "I was born for the storm; calm does not suit me."

And throughout his life, Jackson was no stranger to close calls. The scrappy president from Tennessee had been a boy when the Revolutionary War broke out, and he cut his teeth fighting against the British. When he was captured in 1781, a British soldier slashed him for refusing to shine his boots, giving Jackson scars on his hand and face that he bore for the rest of his life. As an adult, Jackson survived a duel that left him with a bullet in his chest, and he was once shot so badly during a Nashville street brawl that he almost lost one of his arms.

This is the story of the assassination attempt against Andrew Jackson, and how the president somehow beat the odds — yet again — to live another day.

Episode 118 - Did The Moon Landing Really Happen?

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” astronaut Neil Armstrong said on July 20, 1969 — the day humanity first landed on the moon. Or, did we? Was that just what They wanted us to think? It was the middle of the Cold War, and the Russians had already sent Sputnik into orbit. America needed a win, and landing on the moon was the perfect way to one-up the communists. Too perfect, some might say. Which begs the question, was the moon landing fake?
