• Episode 143 - The Story Behind America's "Government Cheese" And The Massive Caves Used To Store It

  In the 1970s, the U.S. faced a serious dairy shortage that sent prices soaring. To address this, the government, under Jimmy Carter, implemented a massive subsidy program for the dairy industry. $2 billion was pumped into dairy subsidies, milk production skyrocketed, and prices for consumers stabilized.

• Episode 142 - The Tragic Assassination Of Robert F. Kennedy

  By June of 1968, the United States felt, to many, like a nation teetering on the edge. Every night, Americans watched the carnage of the Vietnam War on their television screens. That April, Martin Luther King Jr. had been killed in cold blood in Memphis, Tennessee, triggering riots in cities across the country. Into this chaos stepped Robert F. Kennedy — the younger brother of slain President John F. Kennedy — as a candidate in the 1968 presidential election. But then, on what should have been a celebratory night for his inspiring campaign in early June, RFK was shot and killed, too. https://allthatsinteresting.com/sirhan-sirhan credits: ⁠⁠⁠https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
