History By Hopkins: Recent Episodes
Justin Hopkins
Just my thoughts and feelings about history, current events, my own experiences, and how things are connected. I ramble hard.
I ramble hard about the history and practicalities of abandoned military equipment, being vulnerable about my struggles with being emotionally available to the podcast, I open a window for Raliegh, my desire for blueberries, and towards the end you can really tell when the sleep deprivation hits me. Hope you enjoy.
Cameron Swett and I served together in G3 Weapons Department. He's a complete unit of a man and consummate professional to boot. In the first session of a new HbH podcast segment. If you look at the top left corner of this picture, you'll see my eyes staring at Cameron.
I ramble hard about the Irish War for Independence, The Irish civil war that followed, my shitty editing, my roots as a proud Slovenian, and why it's important to know when to quit.
I ramble about the history and significance of the sex industry, Betamax vs. VHS tapes, Onlyfans, and former Mayor La Guardia's contributions to American Society. My cat Raleigh was a good boy for this one. He didn't act up once.
I ramble hard about Bladerunner, Artificial Intelligence, my summers as a film nerd, and why Zoo's piss me off. My cat Raleigh is busy playing with a Christmas ornament and is not present for this episode.
I ramble about Israel, The Black September Massacre, my emotional growth as a person, and my cat Raleigh is a podcast terrorist.
I ramble about the Tunguska Event of 1908, The Fukushima Earthquake, Ogdy the Siberian Thunder God, Cosmic Horror, and Raliegh tests my limits as a reasonable person.
I ramble about the varied examples and definitions of Exiles in modern history. I also talk about Yoda, Osama Bin Laden, snap at my cat for scratching the wall, and what I think the Biden Administration might mean for Redheads in America.
I ramble about pre-world war II Imperial Japan, the motivations of spite in personal development, and the idea of geopolitical karma. My cat Raleigh makes a guest appearance to quietly judge me.
I ramble about the mindset of explorers during the romantic period of exploration. I also talk about Chinese Martians and my cat uses the litter box at some point.
