An informative interview with 'The Light of Battle' author Michel Paradis as we discuss the role Eisehower played in the success of D-Day and the challenges he faced with everything from the changing weather to the huge egos of world and military leaders like Churchill, Patton, Montgomery, Stalin and others. Author Paradis shares insights about Eisenhower the man gleaned from diaries, accounts from those who worked with him, and Eisehower's own notes and records.

"Tom Horn: The True Story of a Western Legend": He was the man who Geronimo trusted and respected enough to arrange his surrender to Gatewood and Miles. He was there when Ed Schefflin discovered a rich load of gold and gave Tombstone its name. In his life he was a scout and interpreter for the US Cavalry, a Pinkerton Detective, a Sheriff, a Rancher, and a bounty hunter for the Wyoming Cattleman's Association. As a bounty hunter, he was a man crime deterrent against rustlers, but in 1901 his kill for hire work made him a perfect foil for a set-up, and he was framed for the killing of a 14 year old boy. This is his story, along with the story of the American West in its heyday. Song Tom Horn Courtesy of Micael hurwotz and the Aimless Drifters.

After conquering all of Asia and Europe from China's coast to France, Attila The Hun had amassed an incredible treasure of gold, silver, and artifacts- enough treasure that it required an atmy just to protect it. When he died in 453 AD, according to one account, he was interred in three coffins- an outer one of lead, a middle one of silver, and an inner one of gold. His huge treasure, which is thought to be priceless, has never been found, although it is still searched for today. This is the story of Attila the Hun and the search for his missing gold.

When General George Washington reached Valley Forge in December of 1777 with a defeated army of 12,000 men, the future of his command and of his army as a fighting force was soon left in serious doubt. There were no log houses for the men. Their clothing was mostly rags- most of the men had no boots. He pleaded with congress, 40 miles away in York, PA, for food and provisions, but they were turning a deaf ear.

In this two episode series we highlight the stories about Valley Forge that you probably have not heard or read, and tell of the unsung heroes who pulled together to save the cause of freedom- which was to be won or lost depending on whether or not Washington's army could survive that winter.

Idiom- A group of words established by usage as having a mean not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g. It's raing cats and Dogs!)

There is one explicit idiom - Kick the Bucket- which follows "Laughing Stock"- it is not suitable for children- there is an audible warning before that piece begins.

We hear uncommon or old expressions, many of them idioms, all the time in everyday language. Their origins can often be very interesting- so I wanted to share some of them with you.

In this episode (in order): Making ends meet~Mind your own beeswax~Turn a blind eye~Caught red-handed~Gaslighting~Buckle down~Back to square one~Knock on wood~The laughing stock~Kick the bucket~You've stolen my thunder!~Break a leg~Pie in the sky~A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush~Let's paint the twon red~That will cost me an arm and a leg~The writings on the wall~He let the cat out of the bag~Don't look a gift horse in the mouth~Its raining cats and dogs.

1001 Heroes interviews author and blogger Lon Strickler regarding a rash of 2017 Mothman sightings in Chicago- and Lon discusses different theories regarding Mothman's existence as well as other cryptids.

We will also speak with author-researcher Lon Strickler, who has spent countless hours interviewing Mothman witnesses in Chicago (51 confirmed sightings, some by groups) and is an expert on Mothman phenomena.
