    197. The AIDS Crisis

    06/23/2026 | 1h 29 mins.
    In the early 1980s, doctors in the US started noticing clusters of unusual illnesses like cancers and pmeumonia in healthy young men, the only thing that connected them, was that they were sexually active with other men. An epidemic emerged, a disease with no name, as a mysterious, highly fatal illness. It sparked widespread panic and devastating personal loss. A crisis heavily defined by government inaction and societal stigma, thousands of lives lost to HIV/AIDS.

    195. Joshua N. Haldeman - Elon Musk's Apartheid-Loving Grandfather

    06/14/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    Did you hear? Elon Musk is now the world's first "Trillionaire." Enjoy this From the Vault
    Anyway, some families have skeletons in the closet, others have an entire ossuary under the floorboards, most like to keep them quiet but the Musk family prefer to put them on display. Elon Musk's grandfather, Joshua Norman Haldeman was an apartheid-loving chiropractor, who was super into conspiracy theories and searching for a "long lost city" in his plane.
