• Billy the Kid & The Lincoln County War: Crookedness and General Rottenness

  This is the second episode of eleven that will discuss Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War that took place in the 1870s in New Mexico. This episode introduces Tunstall, Brewer, & McSween as well as Murphy, Dolan, & Riley of the “The House.” The episode opens with a theft of horses that will soon propel the town and county of Lincoln into war. Billy the Kid plays only a minor role in this episode but his actions firmly place him on the side of the future Regulators.

• Billy the Kid & The Lincoln County War: His Dancing Eyes

  This is the first episode of eleven that will discuss Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War that took place in the 1870s in New Mexico. It will be an in-depth look into the myth and legend of Henry McCarty who became one of the country’s most feared outlaws. Obviously I will correct a lot of inaccuracies and exaggerated stories about the young outlaw who I grew to truly like and sympathize with… right up until I couldn’t. This episode will explore his early life and his family’s move from Indiana to Kansas and finally to New Mexico. Henry McCarty will get into some trouble in Silver City before heading west to Arizona. It’s in those rough and tumble deserts where the Kid will steal his first horse and have his first kill.

• Unrepentant Sinner with Karl Dahl: The Wild West Life of Colonel Charles Askins

  Colonel Charles Askins lived the life of a Wild West Desperado with one foot on either side of the law as if he’d been born in the 19th instead of the 20th Century. He shot his first man at 12 as he was growing up in western Oklahoma but his adventure only started there. Askins was a National Forest Ranger, he had scrapes with Apaches, he was a Border Patrol Agent along the Rio Grande, he was a champion shooter, a soldier in North Africa & Europe during WWII, and he may have been the first man on the planet to kill with a .44 Magnum while he was in Vietnam. Karl Dahl, a good friend and an incredibly smart man, dives into the true life of one of the last Wild West men to have ever lived.

• The Ancient Ones: Mesoamericans, Man Corn, & Quetzalcoatl in the Heart of Chaco Canyon

  After two and a half years of learning even more about the Anasazi through books, lectures, and by visiting even more sites, I have gained new insight into the people of the Four Corners that so fascinate the world. In this episode I offer extensive evidence for the direct influence of Mesoamericans in relation to the Chaco Canyon Anasazi. I cover Teotihuacan, the Toltecs, the Feathered Serpent Cult, the Maya, the Caddo, Cahokia, and of course, the Anasazi. I discuss the Great Houses, a new theory on kivas, the pole flying Voladores ceremony, fertilizer in Chaco Canyon, Macaws, turquoise, Human Sacrifice, the Feathered Serpent Quetzalcoatl, Our Lord the Flayed One Xipe Totec, and obviously, Man Corn. Aka, Cannibalism. But that just scratches the surface of this nearly five hour episode. I weave the tale from Mesoamerica, to the Four Corners, and then over to the Mississippi River Valley before bringing it all back to the American Southwest. Platform mounds, temples, the Toltec tecpatl heart carving knife, shields, chocolate, and more help connect the dots between the various North and Central American cultures. I present evidence of a lot of violence, a lot of connection, and a lot of theories as I paint the complete picture for y’all of the Chacoan Anasazi of the American Southwest.
