But what happens in the sequel? Boston, like an ex-Navy SEAL who just wants to live peacefully as a cook, comes under siege. For eleven months, the British and the Continental Army stare each other down--spying, sniping, skirmishing, and drinking. A whole lot of drinking. The siege of Boston was the first true test of General George Washington and the fledgling cause of American liberty.

From their beginnings as vicious attack dogs in Attila the Hun's army to one dog's role in bringing down Osama bin Laden, Cool Shit's Episode 4 dives into the heroic and sometimes head-slapping history of dogs in war. Warning: as is bound to happen in armed conflict, some of these dogs die.

Here, rockets are assembled by NASA scientists and launched into the Earth’s upper atmosphere. For what purpose? Well, I suspect it’s partly because they just like doing it, but a sign on one of the doors at Poker Flat reveals another motive. It reads, “the Center for the Study of Something which, on the face of it, might seem trivial, but on closer examination, takes on global significance.” It’s as good a description as any for a phenomenon that has inspired centuries of mythology, scientific inquiry, and awe--the aurora borealis.Yeshttps://www.spreaker.com/user/9870712/cool-sh-t-the-podcast-voyager-and-the-gotag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/319747586Thu, 27 Apr 2017 15:54:57 +0000Nate HincheyThe inaugural episode of Cool Sh*t: The Podcast covers the Voyager missions--two space probes launched in 1977 with the mission of exploring the outer planets of our solar system.
