Flight to 9/11
Terrorism has led to mass destruction. Two planes crash into the twin towers. Mass chaos. News broadcasts all over. The sky is filled with an eerie gray smoke. 9/11 was a horrifying event that people will never forget.
The trauma and destruction of the event changed not just the country but the world itself forever. On September 11 2001 4 planes flew over America in an attempt for mass destruction. 3,000 people died that day which went down as the one and only terrorist attack that happened in America. This event also changed the way America looks at security.

Consequences of Chernobyl
A radioactive explosion in 1986 changed the world forever. Contaminated livestock, radioactive towns, and people losing their lives was the result of the infamous Chernobyl Disaster. Learn more about the components to this true catastrophe in our podcast.
In 1986, the Chernobyl disaster in Pripyat,Ukraine caused a nationwide evacuation of civilians. After the nuclear reactor was overheated, it blasted waves of radiation almost 7,000 miles across countries. People had to leave their houses in hope to return when it was safe, but that never happened. To this day, the town of Pripyat is still abandoned.

Communicating with a Veteran
Through this podcast we introduce the many not so fun facts about the Vietnam war and how it affected the lives of people both on the home front and in the war itself. One of our podcast members interviewed their grandfather who was a Vietnam war veteran to see his perspective on the war itself and many of the different aspects of war that he went through. This podcast introduces topics that are beneficial to talk about today since our society's understanding of war is limited and starting to diminish as time goes by.

From the Sidelines of the Vietnam War
This episode hosted by Cheyenne, Joe, and Grace gives an overview of what the Vietnam War home front was like with the special insight of Dianne, Joe's aunt. Her main points that she touches on is that she wasn’t majorly affected by the Vietnam War but she did know of people who were drafted in the war that made it clear for her to see that soldiers got treated very poorly and got little to no appreciation for fighting in the war when they didn't even want to fight in the first place, overall the Vietnam War didn’t do much but put the country into worse conditions. Now enjoy the podcast and I hope by the end of it, you get more of a feel of what the home front was really like during the Vietnam War!
