Who Knew? Presents: The New World: Recent Episodes
Mrs. Allgood and Mr. Rixon
Welcome upcoming APUSH juniors (and others!) to a limited series of "Who Knew?! A History Podcast". Join your two favorite APUSH teachers, Mrs. Allgood and Mr. Rixon, as we take a deep dive into the origins of American history from Pre-Columbian America to the first (almost) permanent English settlement. All five episodes are required listening for APUSH students, and a reflection and analysis will be due on the first day of school. Happy listening!
A lost colony, a musical rendition, and an aggressive zombie disease. To learn about all these things AND MORE, tune into our last episode of our limited series, "Who Knew?! Presents: The New World". In episode 5 Mr. Rixon and Mrs. Allgood explore the first attempt at a permanent English settlement in North America, while also discussing the possibility of the many theories constructed to make sense of its failure.
In this episode Mr. Rixon and Mrs. Allgood take a quick sojourn to the north where we dig into the legacy of the French in early colonial history! If you've ever found yourself curious about Jesuits, the macabre, or kettle corn...this is the episode for you! Join us, won't you?, for 30 minutes of intrigue and reflections on national identity and the fabric of our founding!
In episode 3, Mr. Rixon and Mrs. Allgood explore the intricacies of the wackiest state in the union...Florida! By exploring the Spanish colonial influences on this peculiar peninsula, we uncover exactly what makes Florida a little different from her northern states. Tune in for action, conquistadors, a mystical youth fountain, and BOA CONSTRICTORS!
Have you ever wondered, "what was the currency of the ancient Pacific Northwesterners?", " just what do all of those totem pole symbols mean?", or..." exactly what IS a death bed party?!"? For all of these answers...AND MORE...tune in to episode two of "Who Knew?! Presents: The New World". In this episode Mr. Rixon and Mrs. Allgood take a (metaphorical) trip to the Pacific Coast to learn more about the cultural and political traditions of the aquatic-based tribes of modern day Washington and Southwest Canada.
