    181. Katherine Johnson - NASA's Human Computer
    Feb 17 2026

    Katherine Johnson was a woman whose calculations at NASA helped launch men into space (and bring them home again) shattering barriers for women and Black scientists. She was a mathematician, a human computer and an American hero. She's got the medals to prove it!

    180. Robert Smalls Vs the Confederacy
    Feb 4 2026

    Some stories from history are so impresive that they sound like you ripped them from a novel; an enslaved man steals a confederate ship, sails it to freedom and then fights the very nation that kept him in chains, well that's something worth talking about, welcome to the life of Robert Smalls.
