  • When A Navy Destroyer Fought A Submarine Using Potatoes

    When A Navy Destroyer Fought A Submarine Using Potatoes
    Sep 18 2026
    War often calls for quick thinking and unconventional tactics, but few battles have ever been won with… potatoes. But, during World War II, the USS O’Bannon, a U.S. Navy destroyer, found itself in a tense standoff with a Japanese submarine. With the enemy dangerously close, too near in fact for their deck guns to be effective, the crew resorted to a rather unexpected weapon.

    This is the incredible tale of how the USS O’Bannon used quick thinking, and a well-stocked pantry, to help sink a Japanese submarine.

    Hosted by history teacher turned podcaster, Nick Charlie Key (host of The Fantastic History of Food).

  • When The Austrian Army Accidentally Went To War...With Itself!

    When The Austrian Army Accidentally Went To War...With Itself!
    Sep 4 2026
    In 1788, the Austrian army marched toward Karansebes expecting to fight the Ottoman Empire.

    Instead, a drunken argument somehow ended with thousands of Austrian soldiers firing on each other. Cavalry were mistaken for enemy troops, artillery opened fire on friendly forces, and Emperor Joseph II ended up fleeing for his life.

    By the time the real Ottoman army arrived, the Austrians had already done most of the damage themselves.

    This is the ridiculous and tragic story of the Battle of Karansebes, when an army accidentally went to war with itself.

  • Using Donkey Missiles To Blow Up A Confederate Army Camp

    Using Donkey Missiles To Blow Up A Confederate Army Camp
    Aug 21 2026
    In one of the most ill-advised military ideas of the American Civil War, some poor donkeys were turned into self-guided ballistic missiles.

    But as we'll find out, donkeys aren't always reliable when it comes to navigation!
