Ever wondered why a simple beer run could turn into a history lesson? On History Buffoons, Kate and Bradley kick off their maiden voyage with a blend of humor, personal anecdotes, and a heartfelt commitment to storytelling. Join us as we share our journey, filled with Kate's quirky memory lapses and Bradley's pride in his Wisconsin roots, while inviting you to laugh and learn with us.
We start our adventure with a spirited discussion about craft beer, featuring Bell's Brewery's Oberon Ale and Hazy Hearted IPA. Can these new brews live up to the legend of Two Hearted Ale? We share our thoughts, delving into Bell's fascinating history, from its Kalamazoo origins to its acquisition. Our chat takes a detour through some lighthearted Illinois-Wisconsin banter, adding a regional twist to our beer tasting experience.
The real heart of this episode is the poignant tale of the Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa. Serving together on the USS Juneau during World War II, their story is a mix of bravery and tragedy. We honor their memory, from their enlistment journey to the harrowing Battle of Guadalcanal, where only a few survived. Tying history with music, we reflect on Caroline Spine's song "Sullivan," providing a nostalgic nod to the 90s. Tune in for a blend of history, humor, and heartfelt tributes.
