History with Jackson

Ever wonder how the US became an empire without anyone really noticing? We are led to believe in the peaceful, founding story of America, is instead a relentless scramble for land and power from the Louisiana Purchase to the conquest of California, this wasn’t just expansion—it was an empire in disguise. This history challenges everything you think you know about the US's borders and sovereignty.

"Why do female rulers often end up as the ‘last’ of their empires or kingdoms?" In studying queens from Cleopatra to Hawaii’s last monarch, Kate noticed a pattern: women often mark the final chapters of empires. Why? Because historically, societies have been quick to see women as threats—politically and physically. Whether it’s Cleopatra’s last stand, the Queen of Hawaii’s quiet resistance, or Catherine of Aragon’s tragic story, these women’s reigns come just before collapse or conquest. It’s like society is more comfortable removing power from women than sharing it — and once they’re out, they often never get it back.

Uncover the truth about revolutionaries who hijacked the 70s — and why they’re still shaping our world today. Have you ever wondered what fuels radicals to become what we call terrorists? Jason's new book, The Revolutionists, digs into the mindsets, characters, and global movements that blurred those lines in the 60s and 70s. In this episode we discuss the way revolutionary ideas—whether left-wing, right-wing, or religious—are often more fragmented than we realise. No monoliths here, just a wild mosaic of factions, motivations, and stories. These figures shaped today’s conflicts in ways many of us overlook—like Bin Laden’s rise from the chaos of that era.
