Description

Archives and Anchovies is a history podcast covering forgotten stories, military history, Cold War events, American Revolutionary War history, accidental inventions, and the unexpected origins of everyday things - researched and told without the textbook filter.

Recent episodes have explored the Soviet officer who prevented nuclear war in 1983, the man who survived both atomic bombs, the Marines who marched 500 miles through the Barbary Coast, and the accidental invention of the microwave.

I research these stories myself because I think they're worth doing right.

New episodes every Tuesday. Watch the YouTube version with archival imagery at youtube.com/@Archives_and_Anchovies.

Everything has a history.
