The Chances of Rabbi Dave Being Killed by a Bear Are Low… But Never Zero

October 5, 2025
Welcome to What The Frock? where reason and ridicule meet over coffee and common sense. This week, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod tackle three wildly different but strangely connected stories. It begins with the uproar over Netflix and its so-called “transgender agenda,” fueled by Elon Musk and a fifteen billion dollar hit to the company’s value. From there, they turn to Washington’s latest production, the government shutdown that nobody...

The Women March

October 5, 2025 • 1 min
It began with the sound of a drum in the rain. On October 5, 1789, thousands of women left the markets of Paris and marched toward Versailles, hungry, furious, and unafraid. They demanded bread, but what they carried was something far heavier: the voice of a nation on the edge of change. By the end of that march, the King and Queen would no longer rule from their gilded palace. They would be brought to Paris under the eyes of thei...

"Little Sput"

October 4, 2025 • 1 min
On the night of October 4, 1957, the world changed in a way few could have predicted. From the vast steppes of Kazakhstan, a Soviet rocket thundered into the sky, carrying with it a polished sphere no bigger than a beach ball. Once the roar of the launch faded, the silence of space was pierced by a sound unlike any other. Across continents, through static-filled radios, came the steady, insistent pulse of a signal from orbit: beep-...

Our General

October 3, 2025 • 19 mins
Welcome back to Powder to Parchment on WREV 760AM, where we bring you Revolutionary Talk straight from the heart of 1775. Today we turn our attention to Benedict Arnold, and not the man remembered for betrayal, but the soldier who was still a hero. On October 3, 1775, Arnold and more than a thousand men began their march north through the wilds of Maine, bound for Quebec. They carried bateaux that leaked, maps that lied, and provi...

America's First Traitor

October 3, 2025 • 2 mins
On October 3, 1775, at his Cambridge headquarters, George Washington gathered his leading officers around a table and laid out a single sheet of paper covered in characters that looked like the husks of an insect’s trail. The talk was quiet and direct. A senior official stood under suspicion, a ciphered message had been opened, and the implications were heavier than the room’s timbered ceiling. After weighing the circumstances, the...

41 Cold War Sentinels - USS George Bancroft SSBN-643

October 3, 2025 • 5 mins
George Bancroft was one of the great figures of nineteenth-century America, a historian, diplomat, and the founder of the United States Naval Academy. More than a century later, the Navy honored him by giving his name to a vessel that represented the cutting edge of Cold War deterrence. USS George Bancroft (SSBN-643) was a Benjamin Franklin-class ballistic missile submarine, part of the legendary “41 for Freedom.” From 1966 until 1...

Revolutionary Talk - We Need a Navy!

October 2, 2025 • 26 mins
Welcome back to Powder to Parchment on WREV 760AM, Norwich’s home for Revolutionary Talk. Yesterday we looked at Washington’s grim reality outside Boston — nine shots apiece and a bluff that might break at any moment. Today, October 2, 1775, we turn to Philadelphia, where the Continental Congress takes up an idea as bold as it is dangerous: creating a navy. John Adams rises and declares, “Without a navy we cannot do much.” His wor...

The Sorcerer Strikes

October 2, 2025 • 6 mins
In the autumn of 1944, the submarine USS Aspro slipped out of Fremantle and into the vast expanse of the South China Sea. This was her fifth war patrol, a mission that would test the nerves of her crew and the steel of the boat against Japan’s desperate efforts to keep its sea lanes open. For weeks the men endured the grind of patrol life, stalking convoys, dodging aircraft, and bracing against the thundering shocks of depth charg...

The Nottngham Cheese Riot

October 2, 2025 • 1 min
On October 2, 1766, Nottingham’s famous Goose Fair turned from lively market to full-blown riot, and the cause was cheese. Prices had doubled, merchants were buying up entire wagonloads to haul away, and the townsfolk decided they would not stand for it. What followed was chaos, with stalls overturned, cheeses seized, and wheels rolled through the streets like weapons. The mayor, Robie Swann, tried to stop it and ended up sprawled ...

It's October 1, 1775, and WREV 760AM is on the air, bringing you "Revolutionary Talk" with your firebrand host, Dave Diamond. Word from Cambridge is not good. Shocking even.

McNamara Plot, Darrow’s Defense, and a City Remade

October 1, 2025 • 2 mins
In the early hours of October 1, 1910, downtown Los Angeles was rocked by an explosion that tore through the Los Angeles Times building. The blast, fueled by dynamite hidden in a suitcase and ignited by barrels of ink and ruptured gas lines, turned the newsroom into an inferno. Twenty-one people were killed and more than a hundred injured. The city awoke not only to smoke and rubble, but to the opening act of what newspapers quickl...

Liberty 250 - Live at the Apollo

September 30, 2025 • 32 mins
In May 1774, Virginia’s House of Burgesses showed defiance that echoed straight into the Declaration of Independence. After calling for fasting and prayer in solidarity with Boston, Governor Lord Dunmore dissolved the assembly. The Burgesses simply moved down the street to the Raleigh Tavern’s Apollo Room, proving that liberty could not be locked out of the Capitol. Dave explains how Benjamin Harrison, though less fiery than Patr...

Breaking the Hindenburg Line

September 29, 2025 • 2 mins
In September 1918, the First World War was nearing its end, but no one on the Western Front could be certain of that. The German Army still clung to the Hindenburg Line, a massive belt of fortifications stretching across northern France. At St. Quentin Canal, this line was at its strongest, defended by concrete bunkers, deep wire, and the canal itself, which served as a natural moat. For years, German commanders had called it impre...

Jack's Silver Star Moment

September 28, 2025 • 7 mins
On June 26, 1943, the submarine USS Jack prowled the waters off Japan on her first war patrol. She was young, aggressive, and her crew carried a dangerous confidence. That morning, Jack struck hard, firing a spread of torpedoes into a convoy and sending two ships to the bottom. The crew was elated, convinced they had the war figured out. But in the shadow of victory came disaster. A Japanese bomber swooped down and dropped a depth...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
