Billy The Kid, that name brings to mind so many images, legends, tales, some historically accurate, others American folk lore and tall tales, but what was true, and who was the real Billy?

There have been countless films, and books about this enigmatic American legend, making the truth often hard to find, but in the well over a century since his death (?) we can't stop looking, hoping to find out a bit more about this mysterious figure.

Michael Anthony Giudicissi has spent the last 35 years studying Billy the Kid, and he has even created a series of fiction books surrounding the character that was Billy The Kid. Check out his Youtube Channel Back To Billy and pick up the books he has written in his amazing Back To Billy Saga, available on Amazon.com

On Aug 23 2023 the world lost one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time. But Terry Funk was so much more than just a wrestler, he was a showman, an actor, a legend, but more importantly, he was a father to two wonderful daughter and a dear friend.

Terrence "Terry" Funk had a wrestling career that lasted more than 50 years. He was one of the most respected men in the business, a headliner in every territory of the United States, and in Japan he was a superstar, an icon, and one of the most beloved pop culture icons.

He was even a movie star, appearing in films such as Paradise Alley, Over The Top, The Ringer and most notably the cult classic Road House.

But more than anything he was a proud father, many times he me would tell how proud he was of his daughters, and how much family meant to him.

The friendship I developed with Terry of the last several years of his life mean more to me than a few words here could ever express,

Please welcome Rodney West and Terry Sullivan to the show, two men who have been around the world of wrestling their whole lives. The three of us talk about Terry, his work, his status in the business, what he meant to the world of wrestling, and what he meant to us on a more personal level. Rest in peace my friend, and you have no idea how honored I was to call you friend!!

Vulcana, a name sadly lost to history, known only by fans of legendary strength athletes, but this strong woman was also a STRONG WOMAN. Vulcana, without knowing it, was a pioneering figure in women's rights and equality, although she was never equaled. An athlete, music hall performer, mother and outspoken advocate for women's health and body positivity, her name should be on the Mount Rushmore of feminism, and author and novelist Rebecca F. John is doing her part to make that happen.

Having spent years researching Vulcan, Rebecca brings us a novel based on the true events of her amazing life and legend,

If you are a fan of strength performers, Victorian entertainers, health advocates or women's rights pioneers, the story of this incredible woman is one worth learning more about!!

In the 1980's a pop culture explosion occurred in Professional Wrestling, it was everywhere, on TV's, in arenas, on toy shelves, on movie screens you name it...but where did this mass popularity come from, why did it explode? Because blueprints were put in place for just such a boom, and soon the wrestling business would change forever (for the better?) In the 1970's territories across the United States were developing wrestling into something more than a minor attraction, with a niche following, they made it personal, local shows made local heroes, and made the viewers believe. Each place was different, from presentation to actual wrestling styles, but soon, regional wrestling would go nation wide.

We are thrilled to be joined by the great Terry Sullivan, who was the ring announcer and broadcaster for Big Time Wrestling in Detroit, Nikita Breznikov, a life long fan and historian of the classic WWWF (today's WWE) who eventually made his way into the busniess as manager of the legendary Nikoli Volkov, and rounding out this panel is a Rodney West, a second generation wrestling figure, son of the late great referee/booker/promoter/wrestling guru Ron West, Rodney along with his brother Brent grew up in and around the Georgia Wrestling scene and were drawn to the business likes moths to a flame.

In 1966 Lorenzo Semple Jr. and William Dozier gambled on bringing a comic book hero to America's living rooms, not once, but TWICE a week, and soon BATMANIA took over the world.

over the next 3 years and 120 episodes we were introduced to what "pop culture" is really all about.  Kids fell in love with the action and adventure, adults loved the campy and off beat humor, and grown men in particular LOVED the costumes (especially of amazonesque Julie Newmar as Catwoman and Yvonne Craigs Batgirl)

Today, over 55 years later Batman is still king, not only in it's countless films and animated shows, but the one and only real Batman (in my opnion) Adam West still lives on across streaming platforms and DVD/Blu ray alike, and every generation falls in love with the Caped Crusader and his faithfull sidekick Robin

In 1904 Robert Eugene Otto was given a gift, a very special gift, a doll. Robert loved this doll and named him...... Robert (of course).... or in the early 1900's a  a servant that worked for his parents gave little Gene (as Robert Otto was know) the doll....either way...

Soon, Robert and Robert (who knows which one) was causing all kinds of trouble and when asked, little Gene would say " Robert did it".. and a legend was born....

In North America we all learn about the underground railroad, the path to freedom in the North that escaped slaves used before and during the American Civil War, However, it didn't end where America ended, it stretched all the way into Canada. It also didn't end, as in use, when the war ended, what did happen is the parts we are not taught in school. That the underground Railroad remained active, but not in the the way it was originally conceived.

Author and historian Brian Martin has done extensive research into this very topic and has written an amazing book that chronicles this previously seldom talked about time in history, and we are so honored to have him on the show to talk about this fantastic book From Underground Railroad to Rebel Refuge: Canada and The Civil War (2022 ECW Press)

Then 1931 and a relatively unknown Bela Lugosi portrayed what has become the pop culture image of Stokers count. Over the years there have been countless versions of the Vampire, most notably by the likes of Christopher Lee, Frank Langela and Gary Oldman, but what do the film historians and Stoker scholars think about the various versions.... let's find out
