The Plot is exposed. Lies and denials abound. What investigation does happen is hampered by the rich and powerful through their control of the media and the narrative. The investigation whimpers to a close, as the coup gets explained away by normal means to influence national politics and smearing Butler as a fool. Enjoy!

The bribes keep coming, and they don't stop coming. Smedley deals with delusional and openly fascinated with fascists men, that are far too open with their plans. Welcome to our rambling intro where Skylar stumbles and I keep it in the podcast for fun, and our recap of the story so far, where I weave in and out of time and space to confuse my friends but gets the point across. Investigations begin, and witnesses are interviewed. Come have fun with us.

Leaving the service, Smedley continues to give back to his community in every way he can. This public spotlight will lead him to a plot, and he will find that there is a lot he can do about it. Including telling the world.

An introduction to the 1930's Plot to overthrown President Roosevelt using a highly decorated Marine Corps General. This is this man, in general.

As the War ends and as the Allies close in on Castle Itter, people, personnel and paranoia floods the countryside, and desperation becomes incredibly dangerous.

Learn who is at the castle and why. As I throw out too many names and not enough story answering the question, "Who were these Schloss-tages?"

American GIs and German Army regulars team up to save political prisoners at the end of WWII in Europe. A history of the castle and how it came to be in the hands of the Nazis. Listen as I mispronounce everything!

The end of the city, and the beginning of an era that we all find ourselves in.

As the war begins anew, the preparations start, and the city starts to lose hope. 

The history of the walls, and the construction of the cannon balls, that set the city up for failure.

Our first of a four part series exploring the causes and ramifications of the Fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. In this episode we introduce the Byzantines and Ottomans; their relationships with their neighbors and religions, and all of the tension inherent within them. And how this city came to be, and then came to be weakened.
