Episodes

  1. Ching Shih: The Pirate Queen History Forgot

    Eighty thousand pirates answered to one woman — and every navy that hunted her failed. Marcus and Elena on the undefeated pirate queen who negotiated her own amnesty and kept her fortune.

  2. Stanislav Petrov: The Man Who Saved the World by Doing Nothing

    Marcus and Elena restore the story of Stanislav Petrov — the Soviet officer who refused to report a false nuclear alarm on September 26, 1983, and saved the world by trusting his judgment over the machine.

  3. Hedy Lamarr: The Hollywood Star Who Invented the Future

    Hollywood knew Hedy Lamarr as the most beautiful woman in film. The U.S. military knew her as the co-inventor of frequency-hopping — the technology inside your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. This is the story of the star they tried to erase, and the invention they couldn't.

  4. Bass Reeves: The Real Lone Ranger

    Marcus and Elena restore the story of Bass Reeves — born enslaved in 1838, he escaped to Indian Territory and became one of America's greatest lawmen, arresting over 3,000 fugitives across 32 years as a deputy U.S. marshal. Was he the real Lone Ranger? We dig into the evidence Hollywood ignored.
