DHP Ep. 130 Reissue: CJ’s 25 Favorite Antiwar Songs
Way back in the long-ago before-times (2016), CJ put out an episode in which he listed & talked about 25 of his favorite antiwar songs. A lot of listeners at the time really liked it. CJ has been a musician even longer than he’s been a historian, so any chance he gets to combine his love of music & history is one he’s happy to take. For this (2025) Armistice Day, he’s FINALLY going to be putting out a sequel – “25 More of CJ’s Favorite Antiwar Songs” – which will be exactly what it sounds like. But before he puts that new one out, he decided to reissue the original from 2016, since his audience was a lot smaller 9 years ago than it is now, so the majority of current DHP listeners have never heard this one. (Plus it’s been only available on the private Patreon supporters feed for the last several years.) Hopefully it’ll whet everyone’s appetite for the soon-to-be-released, long-awaited sequel! Join CJ from 2016 as he discusses 25 of his favorite antiwar songs from a variety of genres. Once you’re done listening to the episode, check out this Youtube playlist of the songs discussed made back in 2016 by a listener named Jon.) Like this episode?

Back from the (Mostly) Dead
In order to avoid cluttering up history episodes with this sort of stuff, CJ decided to make a stand-alone personal update episode to let anyone who cares know about all the continued Book-of-Job-ish stuff he’s been dealing with in recent months – including a major death in the family, deep depression shading off into suicidal ideation, & a horrific mystery illness that afflicted his household over the month of October – that have hobbled his content output, but how he made it through, is still alive & still sober, & how (fingers crossed, knock on wood, sacrifice a chicken to the chupacabra, etc, etc) in just the past few days he’s FINALLY been able to get back to something resembling full capacity.

DHP Ep. 122 Reissue: Principal Ruffian & Chief Among Plunderers: The Norman Conquest of England
(Originally published Oct. 2016) In 1066, the course of English history was dramatically altered, as the realm was conquered by Normans from across the Channel. Join CJ as he discusses: Some backstory on Medieval England & Normandy The death of Edward the Confessor & coronation of Harold Godwinson William of Normandy’s preparations for invasion to seize the English crown The invasion of Northern England by Harald Hardrada of Norway, and Harold Godwinson’s defeat of this force at Stamford Bridge William’s invasion of Southern England shortly after Stamford Bridge The climactic Battle of Hastings, a hard-fought battle that was ultimately won by the forces of William The aftermath and legacies of the Norman conquest of England This is an episode that got a lot of positive feedback back when it was originally published, but the DHP’s audience was a lot smaller then than now, & CJ figures a lot of DHP listeners haven’t checked this one out as it’s a stand-alone episode kind of overshadowed by some of his big series.

DHP Ep. 95 Reissue: A History of American Slavery, Part I: Origins of Atlantic Slavery
CJ has started to compile all episodes of his acclaimed 2016 History of American Slavery series into collected volumes, just like he’s already done with his American Revolution & Not-So-Civil War series (and as he will soon start doing with the Woodrow Wilson series), with the episodes curated together into volumes & all announcements, ads, etc, removed. These will be available in CJ’s Patreon shop (and in fact, the first 2 volumes are already up as of now, with the rest to follow shortly.) They can be purchased a la carte whether you’re a Patreon supporter of CJ’s work or not, but CJ’s Patreon supporters at the Scholar Warrior level ($20/month) & higher will get access to ALL volumes of this collection at no extra charge; in addition, CJ’s Patreon supporters at all levels get a discount code to save 15% on purchase of any & all items in CJ’s Patreon shop that are not already included free of charge as part of their membership benefits. Join CJ in 2016 as he discusses: Some basic introductions & things to keep in mind for this series A very brief overview of the prior history of slavery in history The origins of European involvement in the African slave trade, beginning with the Portuguese in the 15th and 16th Centuries The beginnings of slavery in the European colonies The question of the relationship between racism & slavery, and some possible sources of antiblack racism on the part of Europeans Like this episode?
