Welcome to "Check This Out!" where we explore exciting moments from history! In this episode, we dive into the French Revolution—a big time in France’s history that changed the country forever. We learn about why the revolution started, including food shortages, unfair laws, and unhappy common people. Meet King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, who ruled France before the revolution, and hear how the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, kicked off the change. 

We talk about important ideas like freedom and equality that came from the revolution, and learn about the Reign of Terror, a scary time when many people were hurt because of their beliefs. The revolution ended with Napoleon Bonaparte taking power, leading to a new chapter for France. 

Plus, we finish with fun quizzes and even a poem about these moments in history! Join us to learn how the past shapes the world today.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
