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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We are bringing you guys a lighthearted story this week with the tale of John Donohue and his mission to take his friends beer; all the way from New York City, to the battle fields of Vietnam.
John had done his stint in the military but was never placed on the front lines. His friends were though and at the time of his journey, over two dozen neighborhood boys had died in the course of the war.
A suggestion from the local bartender would send John on a months long journey all the way to the front lines of one of the most protested wars in the history of the US. Protest that John was angry at, until he made his journey.
