DDH - The Theater of War
This week on Dave Does History, the American Revolution is stripped of its romance and examined where wars are actually won or lost: logistics.Picking up in the brutal winter of 1775–1776, Dave Bowman walks listeners into British-occupied Boston, a city encircled, frozen, and starving. What emerges is not a tale of grand ideology or battlefield heroics, but of an empire choking on distance, delay, and bureaucratic blindness. British troops, unable to be properly supplied or housed, turn to distraction, staging plays in the heart of a Puritan city while hunger and resentment close in around them....

Liberty 250 - With Manly Firmness
In this episode of Liberty! 250, Dave Bowman joins Bill Mick to explore one of Jefferson’s fiercest grievances: the King’s repeated dissolution of colonial legislatures. From Massachusetts in 1768 to Virginia in 1774, governors slammed the doors on the people’s assemblies, only to find that free men would meet anyway in taverns, churches, and town halls.Dave reveals how this “manly firmness” became the muscle of self-government, the moment when Americans discovered that power could return to the people. The conversation traces how unity was born from defiance, as colonial voices refused to be silenced.Drawing sh...

The Chances of Rabbi Dave Being Killed by a Bear Are Low… But Never Zero
Welcome to What The Frock? where reason and ridicule meet over coffee and common sense. This week, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod tackle three wildly different but strangely connected stories.

From there, they turn to Washington’s latest production, the government shutdown that nobody seems to have noticed.Finally, things take a turn for the wild when Dave tells the story of a man in Missouri who was mauled by a bear a...

This week on Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, we take you back to the morning that changed the world—April 19, 1775. It didn’t begin with a declaration.

Liberty 250 - If It Be Treason
In this episode of Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, we venture back to a sweltering chamber in colonial Virginia, where a fiery young legislator named Patrick Henry took the floor and lit a spark that would soon roar into revolution. With the Stamp Act threatening colonial autonomy and the Sugar Act deepening imperial control, Henry stood defiant and drew a dangerous comparison—likening King George III to Julius Caesar. Accused of treason, he thundered back: “If this be treason, make the most of it.” Dave Bowman takes us through the intellectual heritage of Roman...
