• The Scrappy Sled Dog That Captivated Our Nation

  Balto was a Siberian Husky sled dog who helped transport life saving medicine to a remote Alaskan settlement. Initially seen as a mediocre pup, this good boy proved his owner wrong and led a pack of 13 others through the final stages of a 674 mile serem relay to prevent the death of hundreds of residents in the gold rush town of Nome. He captured the hearts of America and became an overnight celebrity for his efforts. But did he deserve it? Was his tale perhaps embellished by the national media?

• The Irish Invaded Canada?

  After the American Civil War, a large group of Union veterans weren't ready to say goodbye to the battlefield. So, they picked a fight north and attempted multiple invasions on our neighbors in Canada -- all in the name of Irish independence from the Crown.

• The Dark Magic Of Aleister Crowley

  Alesiter Crowley was an English magician of the dark arts, dirty poet, mountaineer, liberal sex haver, and founder of the Thelema religion. He traveled the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and shocked or banged every human being he came across. Crowley claims to have been contacted by the Egyptian God Horus through a messanger named Aiwass, routinely participated in ceremonial eroticism with men and women, and was too "wicked" for either Mussolini or Hitler. He ultimately had influence on the Beatles, Iron Maiden, David Bowie, Led Zepplein, and L Ron Hubbard. This is the story of the father of modern occultism.Subscribe to the Softcore History Patreon for hundreds of hours of extra history content including listener history questions, history movie watch-alongs, and weekly bonus episodes.Rob Foxhttps://www.instagram.com/robfoxthree/ https://twitter.com/RobFoxThree https://www.tiktok.com/@robfoxthree Dan Regesterhttps://www.instagram.com/danregester/ https://twitter.com/dan_regester
