SNAFUBAR

College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Cal Poly Humboldt

SNAFUBAR is a history podcast hosted by College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Cal Poly Humboldt. It has 13 episodes, with the latest published August 2025.

SNAFUBAR is a show about strategic and moral military errors and mishaps, and the myths that both lead to and then justify them. The histories they look at will make clear the degree to which the U.S. is a warful nation, contrary to the myth of a peaceful nation regularly compelled, against its will, to go to war. Through every episode, the show uncovers how we romanticize and fetishize the military while not always providing the support it needs to carry out its intended (or stated) goals, or to meet veterans’ needs when they return from combat.
