It's so funny because when you look at the guys, that's never a topic of conversation. Yeah. What you look like? Yeah. Did you watch the football last night? It's never about, I'll watch your skincare routine. Whereas women walk into a room and because we've been taught to be pitted against each other. Yeah. Not always, but sometimes there's, oh my God, you know, I can't. It's a bit of a barrier. Yeah, yeah. and it shouldn't be there.

We should be trying to change that stereotype, believing that there is space for everybody. Hello and welcome to the show. So today, we're going to be doing something a little bit different. Instead of a normal episode of Conflicted, we're featuring an episode of a special guest podcast in the show's feed.

And if you're a fan of my show, I think you're really, really going to enjoy what you're about to hear.

Today, we're going to listen to an episode of History Daily, hosted by Lindsay Graham of American History Tellers and American Scandal.

Now, if you're not familiar with History Daily, although I'm sure

many of you are, the show drops a new episode every weekday, exploring a momentous event that

happened on that day in history. Whether it's to remember the tragedy of December 7, 1941,

the day that will live in infamy, to celebrate the 20th day in July, 1969, when mankind reached

the moon, history daily is there to tell you the true stories of the people and events that

shaped our world one day at a time.

One of the things I love about Lindsay's show is how atmospheric and immersive it is.

Each episode features original music, top-notch sound design, and a brisk narrative style

that's just an absolute pleasure to listen to. I really dig it, and I think you're going to as well.

Of course, being an almost daily podcast, History Daily has lots and lots of big events to choose from.

They're all great, but I couldn't resist a visit to one of my personal favorite historical

eras, the Cold War. This featured episode of History Daily focuses on the events of December

2nd, 1956. On that day, the communist revolutionary Fidel Castro launched the Cuban Revolution.

It is a fascinating story, one that Lindsay Graham and the History Daily team have brought to life masterfully

and condensed into a compelling 15 minutes.

But enough of my jabbering. Without further ado, let's kick back and get lost in this special guest episode of History Daily.

The start of the Cuban Revolution. Enjoy.

It's shortly before dawn on December 2nd, 1956. A rickety yacht struggles through the choppy waters off the southwest coast of Cuba.
