NYC comics Zach Russell and Charles Engle present: Overshadowed, a podcast about the *siblings* of people who changed the world.

Ever felt ignored or overlooked because of your siblings' accomplishments? Well how do you think Asia Booth felt after no one bought her poetry because her brother killed Lincoln? Not great! (She was exiled to England and her husband cheated on her frequently.)

If you've ever wondered about the lives lead by people like Bartholomew Columbus, Frank James, and Luigi, this podcast is for you.

    49. Sam Adams (John Adams) feat. Harshil Shukla

    49. Sam Adams (John Adams) feat. Harshil Shukla

    Zach and Charles talk American Revolution with Harshil Shukla in this episode about Sam and John Adams. One's a fiery late-blooming behind-the-scenes ugly batman and the other's a learned fat president who loves his naked morning strolls.
    Featuring: Sam Adam's grave, boufing tea, a lot of anti-Hancock rhetoric and more. A failure until 41 years old, "Sam" is someone we can all look to to excuse our failings as simply laying the groundwork for greatness. Patreon ep about John adams will be uploaded by 4/21/24.

    46. Jamukha (Genghis Khan’s Blood Brother)

    46. Jamukha (Genghis Khan’s Blood Brother)

    Grab a hat full of sour horse milk and hunker down with yur(t) boys this week as we cover the doomed bromance between Genghis Khan [aka "Temugin"] and his blood-brother-turned-rival, Jamukha. Both imprisoned by Merkits as kids, Temugin and Jamukha make it official with a blood oath, and when Temugin's bride gets stolen by another band of those pesky Merkits, Jamukha rallys an army to get her back. Exciting stuff, hmm? I wanted to write more, but at this point you should just listen.
    Featuring: yurts, mispronunciations, bridal warfare, empire as a byproduct of raid-culture, horses as vehicles, horses as tanks, shamans, horses as kegs, sustainable indoor heating, and the big reset.
    I'd like to extend a public thank you to Charles for all he's suffered for the pod, little bitch. 
    Patreon has bonus shizz from this ep (it will, updated: 2/20/24).

    45. The Klondike Gold Rush (California Gold Rush)

    45. The Klondike Gold Rush (California Gold Rush)

    We're back with our coldest episode yet, covering North America's most overshadowed gold rush - the Yukon/Klondike - that spanned 1896-1899 and yielded MORE GOLD than the California gold rush, which lasted twice as long. Featuring: outdoorsy gambling addicts, deadbeat dads, lady-yeast, the boom town of Dawson, a scamming willy wonka type, and what we think is too many dead horses.  
    The Klondike Stampede saw 100,000 inexperienced hopefuls journeying West in search of cold gold, but only 30,000 made it to the gold fields, and only a few dozen actually made it out with a meaningful haul.
