Our Atlantis episode has been discovered and is out today! While Atlantis wasn't a real place, each day archeological discoveries bring us closer to solving the mystery of what Plato used as inspiration for the exciting story he told. #HistoricallyHigh #Atlantis #lostcity #Plato
Tomorrow we go on a hunt for the lost city of Atlantis. Our directions come directly from the Greek Philosopher, Plato. Why? Because he is the single source for the story that became a legend that became...real? Probably not, but we hunt on regardless! #HistoricallyHigh #Atlantis
Our episode on Operation Market Garden is out now! When Monty sold the idea of Market Garden to Ike, he thought he solved the Seigfried Line dilemma. The only things MG contributed to the war were more casualties and some dutch liberation #HistoricallyHigh #OperationMarketGarden
Tomorrow we talk about a dark spot on the Allied record following D-Day. Operation Market Garden could have been a decisive blow. An unrealistic timeline and poor planning saw an outcome of more than 13,000 casualities in 9 days and a loss #HistoricallyHigh #OperationMarketGarden
Another Patreon exclusive episode out today! It is Volume 1 in the series on Bad Bitches of History. Nancy Wake was a French Resistance fighter who had her cover blown. She escaped, trained with the SOE, and jumped back into the fight. #HistoricallyHigh #NancyWake #WW2 #Patreon
Our Al Capone episode is out now! 26 year old boss of the future Chicago Outfit. He was brutal, but was he the architect of the St. Valentines Day Massacre? His location suggests maybe not... but he definitely was... probably. Better listen to find out #HistoricallyHigh #AlCapone
Al Capone. Scarface. This week's episode. Al Capone had a couple of nicknames. One he liked. One he didn't. There is a chance we wouldn't know any of his names had Prohibition never happened. Tomorrow we discuss the life and times of Alphonse Capone. #HistoricallyHigh #Scarface
Our Miracle on Ice episode is out today! These plucky college kids came together to take down a Soviet machine. They weren't expected to medal. Not only did they Medal, they picked up an entire country who needed a win. #HistoricallyHigh #MiracleonIce #WinterOlympicGames
Tomorrow we take on some Olympic history with The Miracle on Ice. Beating the Soviets was a big moment for a U.S. hockey team that wasn't supposed to be great. Their job wasn't done though. If they couldn't beat Finland, they weren't winning gold. #HistoricallyHigh #MiracleonIce
Our Shakespeare episode is out now! Business man, playwrite, wearer of puffy sleeves, and entertainer. 400+ years later we may not know everything about Shakespeare, but surviving works give us a good insight into his ability to get people to feel. #HistoricallyHigh #Shakespeare
Tomorrow we dive into Shakespeare! He was born in 1564, yet it doesn't take much effort to see his cultural impact today. Turn on The Lion King and you are watching Hamlet. Rocking a "fashionable" outfit? He created the word. Get ready for some fun. #HistoricallyHigh #Shakespeare
Patreon exclusive Red Ball Express episode is out today. These troops kept the Allied front in chase mode during the German retreat after Normandy. The Germans didn't think it was possible. The Red Ball Express rolled over their expectations! #HistoricallyHigh #Redballexpress #Patreon
The Battle of Verdun episode is out today! Verdun is a point of pride for the French. It's easy to understand why when you look at the battle. They weathered the German storm before beating that Imperial ass back. It was a needed French victory. #HistoricallyHigh #ww1 #Verdun
This week we are traveling back to WW1 for the Battle of Verdun. 303 days of hell. Heroes were made. Plans were betrayed. Von Falkenhayn ran out of time. The French victory was a giant step toward sending the Germans back over the Rhine. #HistoricallyHigh #BattleofVerdun #WW1

Our Green River Killer episode is out today! When asked on a scale of 1 to 5 how evil he thought he was, Gary Ridgway answered he was a 3. His reasoning was because "he didn't torture any of his victims". That is the definition of delusion. #HistoricallyHigh #GreenRiverKiller
Tomorrow we get back into Serial Killer history with The Green River Killer. Gary Ridgway murdered at least 49 women between 1982 and 1998. With his arrest and confession in 2001, he would become the one of most infamous serial killers in history. #HistoricallyHigh #GaryRidgway
Our Captain Cook episode is out now! 3 voyages, no Terra Australis, mapping New Zealand and the east coast of Australia, crossing the Antartic circle multiple times, first known European feet in Hawaii, brutal death. A lot to unpack in this episode! #HistoricallyHigh #CaptainCook
Tomorrow we dive into the voyages of Captain James Cook! The man was a map filler of the highest degree. He went everywhere. It wasn't until he reached Hawaii on his last voyage that an overreaction on his part confirmed it would be his final voyage #HistoricallyHigh #CaptainCook
Our Pompeii episode is out today! Join us as we unearth the story of what has been unearthed in 2 places that were once believed to be forgotten by history! #HistoricallyHigh #Pompeii #Vesuvius #Herculaneum
Tomorrow we jump into the 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and the two pre-Christian Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii that were buried by it. We caught this guy like this as he was listening to the episode. #HistoricallyHigh #Pompeii #MountVesuvius #Herculaneum #Tomorrow
Our newest episode on Industrial Light & Magic is out now! We may be long removed from Indy melting Nazis, but what still persists is the efforts and innovation of ILM creating entertainment for all ages and movie genres today. #HistoricallyHigh #ILM #IndustrialLightandMagic

Our French Resistance episode is out now! Resistance in German occupied countries was crucial support to the Allies. Everyday people rejecting their occupier kept France open for an Allied landing back in France. #HistoricallyHigh #FrenchResistance #WW2 #JoinThePatreon #Thankyou
Vive la Résistance! Tomorrow we are headed back to WW2 to talk about the French Resistance! We give the French a lot of shit when it comes to World Wars. The men and women(maybe even moreso) of the resistance were badass. See you tomorrow #HistoricallyHigh #FrenchResistance #WW2
Our Leopold II and the Congo Free State is out today. In tradition with our Christmas break bad guy episodes, this one does not fall short. Happy Holidays! Thank you for the love and support this year. We aren't done with 2025 yet! #HistoricallyHigh #LeopoldII #CongoFreeState
Tomorrow we dive into Leopold II of Belgium and his Congo Free State. We have covered some evil people and somehow, Leopold II wasn't on our radar. After this episode we have to give him his due. He was truly horrible. Find out how horrible tomorrow! #HistoricallyHigh #LeopoldII #CongoFreeState
Our Nikola Tesla episode is out today! From AC motors to the Death Ray, Tesla's inventions(and "inventions") mystified and changed the world. He even caught the eyes and ears of the FBI! Join us as we get Historically High on Nikola Tesla. #HistoricallyHigh #NikolaTesla
Tomorrow we have Nikola Tesla! AC vs. DC. A former employee of Edison that made the world a brighter place while working for Westinghouse. The man was brilliant, and does not get the respect he should in the history of electricity. See you tomorrow. #HistoricallyHigh #NikolaTesla
