- Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Podcast: The Destroyer of Worlds
- I listened to this one in January and I have to say, if this doesn't turn you on to Carlin's history podcasts, nothing will.
- Vietnam - Khan Academy video
- Afghanistan
- There is a bunch here. Basically, USSR's Vietnam. Important note: USA trains rebel groups to fight USSR, some of which were the Mujaheddin, later to become the infamous Taliban. One leader was Osama Bin Laden. So, the USA created and trained Osama Bin Laden. That is a fact most people my age know. You should too.
- Chernobyl
- Last year, HBO made a docu-drama about Chernobyl. It was called Chernobyl. It was one of the most popular shows last year. Watch it with your family if you want. It is, like, goooood.
