Brent and Jason examine the sneaky ways of using fake injuries to avoid Civil War duty. History Sponsors include an old ad for a Gun and Ammunition Sale and an ad for the drink Grain-O, a coffee substitute. Then, as bonus material, I think we don't have any actual bonus material. I don't remember this for sure, but I'll let you check. Share comments here or on the Apple Podcasts app, iTunes or NPROne. Old Kentucky Tales is produced by sound engineer Todd Birdsong at Paducah School of Art and Design on the campus of West Kentucky Community and Technical College.

Brent and Jason examine the gambling and vice scene in Kentucky in the mid-20th century.

Brent and Jason will discuss the surrender of the British Forces at Yorktown. History Sponsors include an old ad for Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for School Girls (I don't pick these ads, by the way) and a very Mussolini mocking ad for Ball's Blue Book of Canning.

Brent and Jason take a look at the Compromise of 1850 and what can be learned from it (maybe) today. History Sponsors include an old ad for Beer With Vim and another ad for Grape Nuts. Yep, Grape Nuts. I wish I knew the old years to date these ads but that has gotten left off of my script sheets lately; maybe we say it in the podcast.
