    The Travel Channel has had better historical shows than The History Channel lately, maybe History should buy some of the old ones.

    Eg Mysteries at the Museum - kinda funny editing but genuinely I learned SO MUCH History from this show and it really stuck with me. The story about Galloping Gertie and the dog stuck in the car for one.

    (Link is sad but not gory) https://youtu.be/j-zczJXSxnw

    Or Expedition Unknown, which that guy actually interviewed and nearly went on the Titanic sub. That episode was scrapped for safety concerns (lol) and not really historical, but he’s had plenty at old ruins etc.

          Sure, but I suck with random recall. I’ve seen SO many of them. Fantastic Fungi comes to mind. I found the concept of a forest communication network through mycelium to be incredibly fascinating.

          Some of the more interesting ones I’ve seen lately have probably been on the Minuteman YouTube channel. Have you seen any of them? https://youtube.com/@miniminuteman773

          How about you?
