Hamster’s Time-Traveler Picnic

In today's episode, we start off with a mix of historical events and entertainment news. From the capture of Fort Peter in St. Mary's, Georgia by the British during the War of 1812, to Johnny Cash's iconic performance at Folsom Prison in 1968, and the chaos of the first Anglo-Afghan war in 1842, the headlines take us on a journey through time. We also get a glimpse of the freezing temperatures, frost, and snow in the UK, with a humorous mention of snowflakes as big as haggis balls in the Highlands. In 1847, the Treaty of Cahuenga marks an important moment in the Mexican-American War and the eventual inclusion of California into the United States. Fast forward to the present day, January 13th, 2024, where we find ourselves amidst a battle for California's freedom. The excitement in the air is palpable as we anticipate a historic milestone. We are reminded of the struggles faced by brave soldiers fighting against tyranny and oppression, and we hold onto hope for victory against overwhelming forces. Turning our attention to Africa, we learn about the coup in Togo in 1963 and the power shift in Ghana in 1972. Meanwhile, tragedy strikes as the Costa Concordia cruise ship sinks off Isola del Giglio in Italy, resulting in the loss of lives. In the corporate world, we witness Steve Ballmer taking over as CEO of Microsoft from Bill Gates, causing ripples in the stock market. In the midst of all this, we shift gears to delve into a historic event in 1435, when Pope Eugene IV issued a papal bull against the enslavement of the Guanches in the Canary Islands. Pastor Kevin Monstrance joins us to discuss the significance of this move and shares interesting stories about a Spanish priest named Father Fernando. As the show wraps up, we take a sneak peek into tomorrow's headlines, featuring Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles de Gaulle, and Henri Giraud planning Allied strategy, Josip Broz Tito being sworn in as President of Yugoslavia, and the ever-present Elvis Presley dominating the news.
