| 8/20/26 | How World War II Created the Suburbs | History Hyenas | How did World War II help create the modern American suburb? This week, the History Hyenas dive into **Levittown, the GI Bill, and the postwar housing boom** that transformed Long Island—and eventually America. We break down how returning GIs, government-backed mortgages, mass-production construction, and the GI Bill turned potato fields into rows of affordable homes. We also look at the **Marshall Plan**, the booming postwar economy, the rise of the automobile, and how America went from crowded cities to the suburban dream. But there was a darker side to that dream. **Racial discrimination and restrictive housing policies kept many Black veterans and other minorities out of communities like Levittown**, helping create the racial and economic divisions that still shape American suburbs today. From World War II to the white picket fence, **this is the story of how America became Suburbia.** #HistoryHyenas #Levittown #LongIsland #GI Bill #WorldWarII #MarshallPlan #AmericanHistory #Suburbia #History #PostwarAmerica Support our Sponsors: Head to https://forkfulmeals.com/HYENAS for 50% off your first order today!

| 8/13/26 | The French Vikings | History Hyenas | The boys go back to 1066 for one of the most famous battles in history: **The Battle of Hastings** and the rise of **William the Conqueror**. How did a Viking-descended duke from Normandy end up conquering England? Who were the **French Vikings**, and how did these descendants of Norse raiders become the Normans? We break down William’s wild claim to the English throne, Harold Godwinson, the Norman invasion, the legendary shield wall, and the battle that changed England forever. **Vikings, Normans, kings, betrayal, and one of the most consequential battles in medieval history.** #HistoryHyenas #BattleOfHastings #WilliamTheConqueror #Vikings #Normans #1066 #EnglishHistory #MedievalHistory #HistoryPodcast Support our sponsors: For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at https://Mengotomars.com.

| 8/6/26 | The Unknown Dark Influence of Martin Luther | History Hyenas | Martin Luther didn't just challenge the Catholic Church—he helped change the course of Western civilization. This week on **History Hyenas**, the boys dive into the wild story of the monk who took on the most powerful institution in Europe. From the infamous **95 Theses** and the sale of indulgences to the printing press, peasant revolts, and the birth of Protestantism, Yannis and Chris break down how one man sparked a revolution that reshaped religion, politics, and culture forever. But Luther's legacy isn't all heroic. The Hyenas also tackle the darker side of his story, including his vicious antisemitic writings later in life, how they influenced centuries of anti-Jewish thought, and why his work remains both revolutionary and deeply controversial. Was Luther a hero, a troublemaker, or both? History gets the Hyenas treatment: hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly educational. 👍 Like, subscribe, and leave a comment with the historical figure you want us to cover next! #HistoryHyenas #MartinLuther #ProtestantReformation #HistoryPodcast #95Theses #EuropeanHistory #Religion #ComedyPodcast Support our sponsors: To explore coverage, visit https://www.aspcapetinsurance.com/HYENAS https://zocdoc.com/HYENAS Right now, when you buy two months of BlueChew Gold, you get the third for FREE with promo code HYENAS.

| 7/30/26 | John Wayne Gacy: Cool as a Cucumber | History Hyenas | The Hyenas are back in the old studio, and things go completely off the rails. This week, Yannis and Chrissy dive into their Woody Allen-esque obsession with New York City, explain why the suburbs just aren't for them, visit the legendary "jerk garage," and somehow end up quoting John Wayne Gacy (don't try this at home). They also discuss getting Iran out of Bay Ridge, wearing glucose monitors, being doomed from birth, the mysterious machine that creates all the chaos, searching for Jebediah, life after being "formerly a fatty," and what it's really like sharing an apartment with another comedian. It's classic History Hyenas: unfiltered stories, historical detours, dark humor, and enough wild takes to get everyone in trouble. 👍 Like, subscribe, and comment with the craziest moment from the episode. #HistoryHyenas #YannisPappas #ChrisDistefano #ComedyPodcast #NYC #StandUpComedy #NewYork #HistoryPodcast #Comedy #Podcast Support our sponsors: Head to https://forkfulmeals.com/HYENAS for 50% off your first order today!
