#22 - The A-Team: How America treats its war veterans

Fresh back from our holiday to the future. Like Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, we're playing power chords of history - riffing on the historic parallels between the uber popular video game, Fortnite. We're also walking with a bit of a swagger after being chosen by the London Evening Standard as one of the BEST EDUCATION PODCASTS OF 2018!! Do us a favour, tell all your friends about your favourite new podcast. Leave us a 5 star review on iTunes and pop over to Twitter and say HELLO! Just like our old friend Dr Seuss told us when we visited him in our time machine: And then things start to happen, don't worry. Don't stew. Just go right along. You'll start happening too. See you in the funny pages.Written & Presented by Jem DuducuProduced by Dan MorelleMusic: Imagine Dragons - BelieverBe awesome, support us on PatreonSubscribe to the podcast on iTunes and follow us on Twitter Hosted on Acast.

NEON is a different way of sharing historical knowledge. NEON takes a pop culture phenomenon and turns it on its head by revealing lesser known facts, real-life events and history behind your favourite Netflix shows, movies or video games.From how the A-Team took inspiration from Vietnamese history and resistance leaders, to the Aryan purity and Harem breeding programs behind the Handmaid’s Tale. Even some of the most successful video games – Assassins Creed, God of War, and Fortnite – are steeped in history.NEON has already uncovered historical references in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Black Panther, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, The Greatest Showman and the musical, Hamilton.Presented by Jem DuducuProduced by Dan Morelle
