Some may have learned about Johnny Appleseed from the 1948 Disney anthology Melody Time. Some may have learned about him in a poem.

Beneath the trees he makes his bed. Folks say Johnny’s apples are the best!”
This is the full story of Johnny Appleseed, from his motivations for planting apple seeds, to his unusual religious beliefs, to his sudden and surprising demise.

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed and countless others injured in terror attacks targeting the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. The aftermath saw immense devastation, but also incredible heroism from rescue workers, including many dogs.
The loyalty and dedication that these dogs showed serve as proof that anyone, when they answer the call of duty, has the right to be called a hero – even if they walk on four legs.

Almost exactly 50 years ago, on August 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon gave a televised address unlike any that a U.S. president had ever given before. He began by noting that it was his 37th time addressing the nation and stated that he’d spent the last several decades of his life in public service. But, as Nixon noted, he had lost the support of his political base in Congress. The Watergate scandal, which had grown in intensity over the last two years, had consumed him and the nation.
What convinced Nixon to finally resign? And how much did the president really know about Watergate? This is the full story of Richard Nixon's resignation, from what preceded to what came after the shocking moment.

When John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash in 1999, the media came to a quick conclusion — the so-called “Kennedy curse” had struck again. After all, the heir apparent to the family dynasty had lost both his father, President John F. Kennedy, and his uncle, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, to brutal assassinations, making JFK Jr.’s death all the eerier.
On July 16, 1999, the late president’s son had planned to travel to a family wedding. Though he had a broken ankle, John F. Kennedy Jr. climbed into a single-engine Piper Saratoga plane alongside his wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and her sister, Lauren Bessette. He meant to drop off Lauren at Martha’s Vineyard, and then fly with Carolyn to the Kennedy family compound for the wedding in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
But the trio never made it to their destinations. Sixty-two minutes after taking off from the Essex County airport in New Jersey, Kennedy’s plane — which he was piloting himself — crashed into the water. The crash killed everyone aboard the plane on impact.

From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the
wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived –
and ask whether they have the rep they deserve.
Should Nina Simone’s role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it
is? When you find out what Picasso got up to in his studio, can you still admire his
art? Was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant - or both? (And, while we’re at it, was he even
short?)
Legacy is the show that looks at big lives from the perspective of now – and doesn’t
always like what it sees.
Listen to Legacy on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can
binge episodes early and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” astronaut Neil Armstrong said on July 20, 1969 — the day humanity first landed on the moon. Or, did we? Was that just what They wanted us to think? It was the middle of the Cold War, and the Russians had already sent Sputnik into orbit. America needed a win, and landing on the moon was the perfect way to one-up the communists. Too perfect, some might say. Which begs the question, was the moon landing fake?

Andrew Jackson once declared: "I was born for the storm; calm does not suit me."
And throughout his life, Jackson was no stranger to close calls. The scrappy president from Tennessee had been a boy when the Revolutionary War broke out, and he cut his teeth fighting against the British. When he was captured in 1781, a British soldier slashed him for refusing to shine his boots, giving Jackson scars on his hand and face that he bore for the rest of his life. As an adult, Jackson survived a duel that left him with a bullet in his chest, and he was once shot so badly during a Nashville street brawl that he almost lost one of his arms.
This is the story of the assassination attempt against Andrew Jackson, and how the president somehow beat the odds — yet again — to live another day.

On October 14, 1912, Teddy Roosevelt — then running for an unprecedented third term under the banner of the Bull Moose Party — set out to give a speech at the Milwaukee Auditorium in Wisconsin. En route, he crossed paths with a mentally ill saloon owner named John Schrank.
For some reason, Schrank had become convinced that Roosevelt had assassinated President William McKinley in 1901. And so Schrank waited with the crowd, then fired at Roosevelt with a Colt revolver.
