Rethinking Our History
In this new weekly show from the host of The Paranormal Lovers we take a look at some of histories less well known events. Why are they less well known? Because " History is written by the victors."
So we are here to look at the other side of the story, and to give people a starting point to learn about the true history of this country.

Episode 16: The St Francis Dam Failure
We are back for 2025 and boy do we have a good one for ya today.
Back in the 1920's infrastructure regulations were not as strong as they are today, and they aren't great today. But by 1920 standards they are leaps and bounds better than they were.
One area that got an upgrade in the 1920's was dam engineering in California. That was after one failed and took the lives of hundreds of people.
