Content

It's time for an Extra History Bonus Vote and we want to know which short you'd like to see next.

These three topics were selected from Rob's secret list of awesome history subjects he's wanted to talk about and are listed in no particular order below.

Worst Dads in History: Stalin

When your son survives a suicide attempt, your reaction should not be: “He can’t even shoot straight.”

Royal Wedding Disasters: King George IV

It’s not a great omen when the groom gets so drunk he has to be held up during the ceremony, and audibly sobs during his vows.

Godzilla King of Metaphors

Most people know Godzilla was a metaphorical treatment of the atomic bombing of Japan, but many don’t realize how far that symbolism went.

***Friendly reminder: The poll will end at 11:59 PM PT on Wednesday the 17th. You can vote for as many choices as you want! This style of voting helps us see what people are most interested in without having to make tough decisions between a couple of close favorites. **

Nimrod

Rob, you have a very interesting, and lets say "unique", secret list. I love it

David Chipman

Not to be "that guy", but I'm pretty sure I knew about the "Godzilla/A-bomb" connection. But look forward to seeing it explored in more detail.

The Rogue Chief

To Stalin’s credit as a dad, he did tell his daughter Svetlana to NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be alone with Berya (the notorious serial r@pist of Moscow and the Central Committee)

Martin Verran

Are you guys going to do a short episode on the life of the Supreme Chicken some day?
