Ep 27: The RMS Carpathia: All Possible Speed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone knows the story of RMS Titanic . This time, we’re telling it from the deck of the ship that came looking for her. When Carpathia received Titanic’s distress call in the early hours of April 15, 1912, Captain Arthur Rostron was nearly sixty miles away. He didn’t know how badly Titanic was damaged, how long she had left, or whether anyone would still be alive when they arrived. He knew only that another ship needed help.

America's 250th Special Debrief: The Founding Myths We Refuse To Let Die (opens the original)
Read excerpt

From there, we follow the long shadow of expansion, the hunger for land, the violence of removal, the polishing of national mem

Read excerpt
In Episode 2 of Naked History’s 250th special, we move deeper into the haunted house of the American Experiment and open the locked rooms of the Revolution. The Declaration promised liberty, but not everyone was invited into that promise. This episode looks at the people whose stories complicate the clean patriotic version of 1776: enslaved people who used revolutionary language to pursue freedom, Indigenous nations facing settler expansion, women whose labor helped sustain resistance while thei
