1:36

I'm sure you'll have noticed England

1:38

playing their first game under new

1:40

boss Thomas Tugel this evening. As

1:43

a result we've made a slight

1:45

tweak to our normal schedule. Rather

1:47

than releasing an episode in our

1:50

usual Friday morning slot, we're going

1:52

to do a special episode tonight

1:54

at 10 p.m. Immediately after the

1:57

England versus Albania game. It'll be

1:59

2:02

is Football, a YouTube channel, so

2:04

you'll be able to watch live

2:06

and join in with your thoughts

2:09

and questions for us as we

2:11

go. That recording will also then

2:13

be released straight away as a

2:16

regular podcast episode, so you'll be

2:18

able to hear it in full.

2:20

wherever you normally listen. But do

2:23

join us on the live stream

2:25

tonight, if you can, as we

2:27

give our immediate reaction to the

2:30

game and how England are looking

2:32

in the new era of Thomas

2:34

Tockel. It should be a lot

2:36

of fun and a great chance

2:39

for you all to get involved

2:41

in. have your say to. That's

2:43

10 p.m. tonight, pretty much straight

2:45

after the final whistle on the

2:48

Resties Football YouTube channel. The link

2:50

to take you directly to the

2:52

live stream is in the episode

2:54

description. We look forward to you

2:57

joining us this evening. Before you

2:59

go though, if you're looking

3:01

for something to fill your

3:03

normal Friday morning slot... I

3:06

want to tell you about

3:08

Goldhanger's latest podcast, Journey Through

3:10

Time. Historians David Olashugga and

3:13

Sarah Churchwell are going to

3:15

be telling the stories from

3:17

history that you weren't taught

3:19

at school. This week they're looking

3:22

at the terror attack. that took

3:24

place three generations before 9-11,

3:26

ripped through New York, caused

3:28

millions of dollars of damage,

3:31

led to the establishment of

3:33

new national security agencies, and

3:35

helped push the United States

3:37

into the First World War.

3:40

It's the story of the

3:42

1916 Black Tom Explosion, a

3:44

major moment in American history

3:46

that almost no one has

3:49

heard of. Here's a little

3:51

clip from it. to get

3:54

a taste. watching!

4:00

Manhattan Island and the

4:03

surrounding territory trembled early this

4:05

morning from the force of

4:07

two terrific blasts. Windows

4:09

were shattered and buildings shook

4:12

to their foundations. The explosion

4:14

shook the skyscrapers. Clouds of

4:16

dust spurted from doorways, as

4:19

great sheets of glass came

4:21

tumbling from the skies. That's

4:23

a newspaper report from the

4:26

New York Tribune describing

4:28

a terror attack on New York

4:30

City. an attack that cost American

4:33

lives and caused millions of dollars

4:35

of damage to buildings across

4:37

Manhattan. It was a terror

4:39

attack that shocked America, it

4:41

led to the establishment of

4:43

new national security agencies, and

4:45

it helped push the United

4:48

States towards war. But it's

4:50

not the terror attack on New York

4:52

City that you might be thinking of.

4:54

But before we get into that

4:56

story, let's introduce journey through time.

4:59

a new show from Goldhanger. I'm

5:01

Sarah Churchwell, an author, journalist, and

5:03

academic. I'm an American in the

5:05

UK, and I've written books about

5:07

everything from Marilyn Monroe to American

5:10

fascism. And I'm David Ulashogger. I'm

5:12

a historian and a broadcaster. I've

5:14

spent about 25 years making history

5:16

documentaries. I also write history books

5:18

on imperial history, the world wars,

5:21

the history of cities, among other

5:23

things. And in journey through time, we're

5:25

going to be bringing you stories from all

5:27

over the world and across the centuries, stories

5:29

that reveal what it was like to live

5:31

through key events in the past, what it

5:33

really felt like to be there at the

5:36

time. We're going to be uncovering the

5:38

hidden social histories behind famous chapters

5:40

from the past, how they impacted

5:42

on the lives of ordinary people,

5:44

looking at things like prohibition in

5:46

the United States, in the 20s,

5:48

and the great fire of London

5:50

in the 17th century. But we're

5:53

also going to be uncovering forgotten

5:55

events, like the great storm of

5:57

1703, one of the worst natural

5:59

disasters. in British history. And we'll

6:01

be meeting some of history's missing persons.

6:03

These amazing characters who are just not

6:06

that well known, but whose stories take

6:08

us into incredible moments. So we'll be

6:10

delving into events like the scandalous murder

6:12

of the celebrated architect Stanford White, which

6:15

was a crime that exposed the dark

6:17

side of America's gilded age. And we'll

6:19

bring you one of my favorites, the

6:22

frankly astonishing tale of Anne Bonny and

6:24

Mary Reed, two women who broke every

6:26

convention of their age to become female

6:29

pirates of the Caribbean during the Golden

6:31

Age of Piracy. And today's episode, I

6:33

think, does all of that. It is

6:35

a forgotten story, that terror attack on

6:38

New York City. And it involves a

6:40

bizarre cast of forgotten characters. We've got

6:42

Playboy diplomats. There's a stranded sailor, an

6:45

opera singer who manages a brothel in

6:47

New York, a useless spy who leaves

6:49

top-secret documents on a train. We've got

6:52

bomb makers, Irish revolutionaries, and even an

6:54

American president who wants to pretend that

6:56

none of this. This is happening. This

6:58

is the first of two episodes on

7:01

the Black Tom explosion, the terror attack

7:03

on New York City that took place

7:05

in 1916. That's three generations before the

7:08

attacks of September 11th, 2001. And David

7:10

it's worth saying now that there are

7:12

lots of parallels in the story we're

7:15

about to tell between 9-11 and the

7:17

Black Tom explosion. That's right. And today

7:19

we're going to discover why Black Tom

7:21

Island was targeted, but also who the

7:24

attackers were. And despite being largely forgotten,

7:26

we're going to show that this was

7:28

an event that really did change America.

7:31

But it has been largely forgotten. This

7:33

is not a well-known episode. I'm just

7:35

curious, David, when did you first encounter

7:38

the story of Black Tom? Well, I

7:40

stumbled across it back in 2012. I

7:42

was writing a book about the First

7:45

World War and kind of did a

7:47

double take when I read about it,

7:49

because it was mentioned in passing. thought,

7:51

how do I not know this? And

7:54

the more you read about it, the

7:56

bigger that question becomes in your mind

7:58

is how do we not know about

8:01

this. But it is remarkable that it's

8:03

been forgotten because it did have all

8:05

kinds of consequences. That's right. This is

8:08

an event that helped invent the notion

8:10

of what Americans today call Homeland Security.

8:12

and it has other consequences. It was

8:14

to be used 20 years later to

8:17

justify the internment of Japanese Americans during

8:19

another war, the Second World War. And

8:21

it even, this is the most remarkable

8:24

thing, it even played a role, a

8:26

small role but a significant one in

8:28

the rise of Hitler and the Nazis.

8:31

Yeah, I mean, I was just going

8:33

to say when you said small, I

8:35

was going to say it's not that

8:37

minor. It's limited but consequential. As we

8:40

will be revealing. And it's important also

8:42

to say that when we say explosion

8:44

we really really mean it. This is

8:47

one of the largest detonations in history

8:49

up until that time before the invention

8:51

of nuclear weapons. It was a blast

8:54

so powerful that it didn't just shatter

8:56

the panes of glass in the skyscrapers

8:58

of Manhattan. It even registered on the

9:00

Richter scale, the scale we used to

9:03

measure earthquakes. To hear more, search journey
