Pod-Alization: The Kandahar Massacre; Money Moves; American History Tellers

 This week, we have three podcasts to recommend. Two of the podcasts are from iHeartPodcasts and one is from Wondery. 

**********************

The War Within: The Robert Bales Story: In March 2012 in a region of Afghanistan known as the birthplace of the Taliban, Staff Sergeant Robert Bales left his base and laid siege to two villages, killing a reported sixteen innocent Afghan civilians.

This new iHeartPodcast explores the lingering questions behind what became known as the Kandahar Massacre. Join host Mike McGuinness each week as he discusses everything from brain injuries to potentially toxic drugs and possible cover-ups by the nation Robert Bales swore to protect.

Tune in Thursdays. This is essentially a true-crime podcast, except that the crime took place in another country.
**************************

 Money Moves Powered By Greenwood: Talking about money shouldn’t be taboo! Join host Tanya Sam on Money Moves Powered By Greenwood as she works to empower Black and brown communities to end the wealth gap by providing financial planning tips.

Each episode features guests sharing their successes and how they balance the money moves behind their names and businesses, as well as highlighting the celebrities making significant money moves.

Tune in every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Why should the only podcasts about financial advice be from old white guys and a crabby woman who yells about debt?

************************

American History Tellers:  The Cold War, Prohibition, the Gold Rush, the Space Race. Every part of your life - the words you speak, the ideas you share - can be traced to our history, but how well do you really know the stories that made America?

They'll take listeners to the events, the times and the people that shaped our nation. And they'll show listeners how our history affected them, their families, and affects you today. 

The podcast is hosted by Lindsay Graham, not the Senator, but the smart, articulate one. The podcast host Lindsay Graham is the founder and CEO of the podcasting company Airship. He's also the Ambie-nominated and Webby Award-winning host of the podcasts American History Tellers, American Scandal, Business Movers and History Daily, and the executive producer of the audio dramas 1865 and Terms.

Graham doesn't just scratch the surface of history, but plunges into the deep end of the pool, with seven episodes each on The Cold War and Prohibition. The podcast dives into Andrew Jackson, Civil Rights, and The Space Race.
