To Drink and Disobey

Alex Deane and Bryan Cunningham launch their new podcast “Hidden History Happy Hour,” with twin tales of derring-do separated by centuries and continents but reminding us of two historical truths: Soldiers and sailors enjoy a drink and they disobey orders, sometimes heroically, sometimes hysterically, but always with lessons we can use today. Just like our podcast.
