WEEK FIFTY: The Toys of 1917

It's Christmastime in 1917! Jeff and Vinnie pull up a vintage toy catalog and pick out what they want hundred-years-younger Santa to bring them: a bank that looks like a wood-burning stove? A bucket? A slightly different bucket? A spoon? The choices are endless!

WEEK FORTY-EIGHT: The Halifax Explosion

The 1917 Podcast is getting ready to end the year on a bang, and by bang we mean the dreadful Halifax Explosion, basically the biggest manmade explosion up until the atomic bomb. Plus a quiz on Finland: Jeff and Vinnie are both, somehow, 1/8 Finnish and don't know how.
