Texas Jack and Buffalo Bill recruit Wild Bill Hickok to co-star in a slightly different version of their successful play.

TEXAS JACK Ep. 2 | “Scouts of the Prairie”
2073
Texas Jack and his good friend Buffalo Bill prepare for the most terrifying adventure of their lives: performing on stage in front of live audiences. They are savaged by the critics for their horrible acting abilities, but the audiences love the production … which is due more to the leading lady than the heroes of the plains. Italian ballerina Giuseppina Morlacchi graces the production with her talent, and she captures the heart of America’s first cowboy star.

NEZ PERCÉ WAR Ep. 1 | “50 Years of Peace”
2296
For about 50 years, there was relative peace in the U.S. and the Nez Percé. There were outbreaks of violence, like the Whitman Massacre, but not the continual warfare that existed between the U.S. army and other tribes. Tensions rose dramatically in the 1850s and 1860s when the U.S. proposed treaties that were designed to take nearly all Nez Percé land. By 1863, five bands of the Nez Percé were rebelling against the treaties and set the stage for the Nez Percé War.

Introducing "Real Outlaws" from Noiser
2726
Ned Kelly is the model social bandit, an Australian legend without equal – even today he’s still considered a symbol of rebellion against the establishment. But what’s the truth behind the myth?
We journey into the harsh bushland territories of Colonial Australia to see what happens when the forces of Imperial authority collide with a young man who won’t lie down, or accept the hand he’s been dealt.
A Noiser production, written by Danny Marshall.

Introducing "Spectacle: Las Vegas" from Sony Music Entertainment
625
It’s a city that shouldn’t exist. An oasis in the desert, a mirage — it’s a city of buzzing neon, flowing fountains, and fortunes made and lost. A city of hedonism: concerts, casinos, showgirls, and all-you-can-eat buffets. But how did Vegas become “Sin City”? A place that promotes a fantasy of adult freedoms: a vacation from boundaries, rules, accountability? A place where people from all over the world visit to be their wildest, most uninhibited selves, even if it’s just for just a couple nights? We’re going to tell you the history of that city.
From a railroad stop, to the mob, to the luxury resort and casino...this is Spectacle Season 2: The Making of Las Vegas.
