    126. Reign of Terror: The Osage Murders
    17 Oct 2026
    KT's back for episode 126 and she brings the Smoke Circle the history on the "Reign of Terror" against the Osage tribespeople in 1920s Oklahoma. When oil was found on Osage land, oil companies paid them lease fees and royalties in order to drill. These headrights, as they were called, brought great wealth to the Osage people. However, where great wealth is, corruption followed. What followed was a series of exploitation of legal loopholes, coercion and murder in a deep, widespread conspiracy against the Osage people perpetrated by the town's white residents and business owners.The novel "Flowers of the Killer Moon" by David Grann and the 2023Martin Scorsese film of the same name, staring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone and Robert DeNiro are based on these events.~~~~~*The Socials and Patreon!Patreon-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Best Buds Club!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistoryPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@High Tales of History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠High Tales of History or ⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory ⁠Email—hightailingthroughhistory@gmail.com⁠ ~~~~~~~~~~~~*Source Material and References:⁠⁠⁠https://www.osagenation-nsn.gov/news-events/news/did-you-know-osage-murdershttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/12/movies/osage-reaction-killers-of-the-flower-moon.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osage_Indian_murders https://www.history.com/articles/the-fbis-first-big-case-the-osage-murders https://kids.britannica.com/students/article/Osage/600730 https://www.npr.org/2023/03/23/1165619070/osage-headrights-killers-of-the-flower-moon-fletcher-lawsuit https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/resources/human-rights/2024-january/reconciling-osage-betrayal-killers-flower-moon/ https://ais.washington.edu/news/2023/10/23/what-killers-flower-moon-doesnt-show-about-osage-nations-legacy https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry?entry=OS005 https://youtu.be/3imh-FnfF8o?si=xb04dcjYocftiJPF https://youtu.be/akT8eq2lRk0?si=-RS0SnbZTUTQppZi Laurel's source on the Drummond Family: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/10/the-strange-but-true-story-of-the-pioneer-womans-link-to-killers-of-the-flower-moon~~~~~~~*Intro/outro and Transition Music created all from: "Hit the Streets" Music licensed through Soundstripe on Riverside.fmCode: 5SFLA6TCMVWJERUU, EMPRILZIRAMJL8ZR

    125. Not So Good Vibrations: How The Beach Boys Escaped Charles Manson
    2 Oct 2026
    The Beach Boys are one of America's most innovative and influential music groups, known by most for their "California Sound." Their early hits were about catching waves and the eyes of girls, driving cars and basking in the Good Vibrations sunshine. But, despite their complex and stunning harmonies in the studio, the lives of some of its members--namely, the Wilson brothers--were anything but harmonious.In this episode, Laurel has a sesh with Assistant Professor of History, Dr. Darren R. Reid to talk about the most bizarre story in the band's history: the connection between Dennis Wilson, middle brother of the Wilson trio, and one of America's most infamous criminals: Charles Manson and the Manson Family.They explore the dichotomy of the 1960s, where the Beach Boys' cheerful music of its early years contrasted sharply with the darker realities of the latter half of the decade. The conversation highlights the impact of the Wilsons' family dynamics, substance abuse, and the counterculture movement on the band's legacy. It explores the themes of belonging, insecurity, and the gradual descent into cult life. Ultimately, it reflects on the profound aftermath of Manson's influence on those involved and the cultural ramifications of the Manson murders, particularly focusing on the Beach Boys and Dennis Wilson's experiences. The tragic events that took place in Los Angeles in 1969 forever shaped the lives of those involved and put a dark end to the Summer of Love and the peace and love counter-culture movement of the 1960s.~~~~~~~~*Mentioned in the Stories:Darren's short documentary "Learning To Smile" on YouTube"Never Learn Not to Love" The Beach Boys song originally written by Charles MansonEpisode 45: The Satanic PanicResources for Domestic and Emotional Abuse:In the U.S. --- 1.800.799.SAFE (7233) or text “start” to 88788International Resources for Abuse and Exploitation~~~~~~*Check Out What Our Guest, Dr. Darren R.

    124. Extinct! When the Earth Ended (Twice)
    12 Sep 2026
    Mass extinction events! There have been five in the history of Earth. They all completely suck but some were worse than others. In this episode, KT takes us on a trip hundreds of millions of years into the past to learn about the K-T Extinction Event (yeah, we know. That's an unfortunate coincidence) when a massive asteroid killed the dinosaurs. She also covers the WORST mass extinction event that few people know about: The Permian-Triassic Extinction also known as The Great Dying (I'm sorry but WTF?!)Join us where the only land was the supercontinent of Pangea, dinosaurs ruled the Earth, and all the bad, awful stuff gets measured in gigatons and Empire State Buildings.~~~~~*The Socials and Patreon!Patreon-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Best Buds Club!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistoryPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@High Tales of History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠High Tales of History or ⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory ⁠Email—hightailingthroughhistory@gmail.com⁠ ~~~~~~*Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Earth's Catastrophic Extinctions10:02 The Mesozoic Era and Dinosaur Dominance19:57 The KT Extinction: Impact and Aftermath29:56 The Permian Extinction: The Worst Mass Extinction40:01 Global Effects of the Impact: Firestorms, Tsunamis, and Climate Change49:54 Lessons from Earth's Past Disasters47:46 The Impact of Water Displacement and Marine Fossils49:19 Earthquake, Tsunamis, and Volcanic Eruptions50:35 The Aftermath: Winter, Darkness, and Starvation51:33 How Bad Was the Asteroid Impact?52:43 Volcanic Activity and Long-Term Cooling55:58 The Permian Extinction and Siberian Traps01:00:00 Earth's Hot Past and Continents01:04:39 The Great Dying: Causes and Consequences01:09:40 The Permian Extinction's Global Impact01:19:50 Marine Extinction and Ocean Changes01:20:57 The Hypothetical Hypercane Storms01:23:25 The Sixth Mass Extinction and Human Impact01:29:59 What We Can Do to Prevent Further Extinction01:34:25 The Resilience of Life and Earth's Future~~~~~~~~~~~~*Source Material and References:https://youtu.be/rFlEe0qflGs?si=gkI7AAbxscfuJTtt https://youtu.be/It8orOogiPI?si=yRwdD_2UagMnbQlp https://share.google/hyAV0tY5YDY8e8IzE https://share.google/zypoYeeeZYbk3Yfwd https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event https://share.google/eA48R22GhJ7KAaTgd https://share.google/QeOmRue2vDK7na4O8 https://share.google/WDuyjb5ENg4fIDL69 https://share.google/XqLRclRn6v4odCHb6 https://share.google/Q8GTyDoZ3Db5zhX7I https://share.google/l3jpRVjNA6Qqt5dLT https://share.google/utrKHzSDmqcubj3yZ https://share.google/lvZixDR3HOnucmNuy https://share.google/ZafjvDcuDrTzxOeqI https://share.google/RCTGGIMXe8OOMmtre https://share.google/SMP2adjjxP8b6oUnW https://share.google/SD7OgqcDFnjCPY0PX https://share.google/mDKp1kRQHu97QbSg1 ⁠~~~~~~~*Intro/outro and Transition Music created all from: "Hit the Streets" Music licensed through Soundstripe on Riverside.fmCode: 5SFLA6TCMVWJERUU, EMPRILZIRAMJL8ZR
