Prick the Balloon 14 - Texas Liberals 46:37

26d ago46:37

46:37

We face stereotyping in so many different ways every day, and lumping people and places and things all together is almost always a bad idea. This episode makes the strong case that American liberalism owes its roots to Texas Populists. Seriously, yes - Texas. Host Mike Vance Writer is the published author of 11 books with more on the way. He has wr…

Prick the Balloon 13 - Woodrow Wilson Part 2 55:16

1M ago55:16

55:16

The sad and frustrating story of Woodrow Wilson resumes as the U.S. enters WWI. Unfortunately for Wilson, his legacy largely goes downhill from there. It ends with a president unable to perform his duties and some unforgiveable stains to weigh against some real progress. Host Mike Vance Writer is the published author of 11 books with more on the wa…

Prick the Balloon 12 - Woodrow Wilson Part 1 45:59

2M ago45:59

45:59

People are complicated, but few in American history are more confounding than Woodrow Wilson, who hit the extremes of good and bad. He left so much to unpack that it takes two episodes.

Prick the Balloon 11 - Angry Old Men 43:10

2M ago43:10

43:10

Prick the Balloon 10 - News Bias 42:15

3M ago42:15

42:15

One side loves to complain about bias in the news. As always, they fail to understand the history of the topic. We had finally tamped down much of it until the system was blown apart by a conservative icon. This is the timeline of America's news. Host Mike Vance Writer is the published author of 10 books with more on the way. He has written, produc…

Prick the Balloon 7 - Spanish American War 38:05

5M ago38:05

38:05

The Spanish-American War was a manufactured little conflict that, for the U.S. at least, lasted about three months. On the other hand it was the first time the American Empire expanded off the mainland North American continent. The lessons of intervention still apply. Host Mike Vance Writer is the published author of 10 books with more on the way. …

Prick the Balloon 6 - Most Corrupt State 37:57

5M ago37:57

37:57

This one is just a little fun. Sure it's history, but it's also wildly subjective. Let's face it, the U.S. is one corrupt nation, but which state takes the crown? You've probably got your own ideas, but you should get a few laughs and gasps listening to Mike's. Host Mike Vance Writer is the published author of 10 books with more on the way. He has …

Prick the Balloon 5 - Pilgrims and Puritans 35:22

6M ago35:22

35:22

What should we make of those darkly pious New Englanders who sought freedom of religion in the 1600s? In Mike's opinion, the positives are few and far between. Though they have undeniably passed through several filters, their dour negativity is still being imposed on Americans today. Host Mike Vance Writer is the published author of 10 books with m…

Prick the Balloon 4 - US Grant 43:15

6M ago43:15

43:15

This episode gives a little love to a president who sometimes gets a bad rap. Though he was far from perfect, just like the rest of us, Ulysses S. Grant was a strong champion for civil rights and equality, and he even tried, unsuccessfully, to stop the nation's relentless killing of American Indians. It was Grant who gave us our first national park…

Prick the Balloon 3 - Hollywood Blacklist 41:26

7M ago41:26

41:26

The alternate title for this episode is Lucille Ball vs. John Wayne, but few things about the Hollywood Blacklist were that clear cut. It was a sad example of shutting down good Americans solely because of their beliefs, in many cases, not even their current beliefs. There is plenty of old-time movie gossip here, but also some lessons that resonate…

American labor unions have a long history of successes and failures, some of them downright murderous.
