HILF: History I'd Like to F**k

A very special holiday episode, in which Dawn sat down with her real-life husband, Andrew Melby, and dug into the origin and legends surrounding this tenacious Yuletide demon. He is a long-horned, long-tongued, Christmas Devil who lives to drag naughty children to hell... But enough about my guest - lets talk about KRAMPUS!

A HILF stocking stuffer! Welcome back to your seat at Dawn's kitchen table with her mom and two older sisters. You heard them HILF in EP#34, now you're a fly on the wall as the discuss their family history! You'll hear about the time Mom found a bong in Dawn's dorm room; Anne's encounter with a naked neighbor after her car broke down; and Lisa - the only person I know who got hit by a deer... you read that right.

In this second part of the HILF-ing of Cleopatra, Dawn and Kiki Andersen return to learn about the love affair with Mark Antony. Hear how their relationship starts aboard a pleasure barge and ends as one of the most tragic love stories of all time.

Cleopatra is arguably the most famous woman in history. Few figures from the ancient world - especially women - are still so universally remembered. She was a strong ruler, a cunning enemy, and a great lay. Hear about Cleopatra's rise to the thrown and love affair Julius Ceasar, in the first of a two-part episode on the last Queen of Egypt.

Alan Turning's unique mind was key to breaking the top-secret Nazi encryption machine known as, ENIGMA. He was also the father of Artificial Intelligence; and died a mysterious death after state-mandated punishments for being gay. Dawn's guest is the brilliant, and oh-so-very-English author (and former burlesque dancer) Heidi Mavir.

Grab a hot-toddy, a cozy blanket, and curl up with Dawn as she reads one of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous, and chilling poems, THE RAVEN.

The Battle of Blair Mountain was a deadly conflict - an armed uprising - which took place in the hills of Southern West Virginia between coal miners and coal mine owners. It's a story of gun fights, secret alliances, unions, and even a tragic love story. Join Dawn and guest, actor Peter Breitmayer, to hear about the event none of us were taught in school.

In part one you met the crew, fell in love, and then lost them all over again. In part two, Dawn and guest - childhood friend, Adam Andreasen - pick up on the twists-and-turns of the investigation, and the NASA cover-up that almost worked.

On a cold January morning in 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after launch, killing all seven crew members, including Christa McAuliffe, a school teacher. Host Dawn Brodey was seven years-old at the time and - like many other children across the country - watched the disaster live on TV. Sitting next to her that day is her guest for this episode, her oldest friend, Adam Andreasen.

The Clinton/Lewinski Scandal was not the first presidential sex scandal, nor the first sleazy media blitz - but it was the first one to happen on the internet. Join Dawn and her guest, Kelly Blackheart, a producer and co-host of Jim Jeffries's podcast, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, as they go deep.
