Headlines and History
A podcast dedicated to discussing all things foreign affairs and military conflict and the histories thereof. Join me as I present today’s headlines and give you the “so what” that comes from decades of military intelligence and law enforcement investigative experience. We will even have interviews with military leaders, historians, and educators along the way. If you want more than the evening news, but less than a college course, you’ve come to the right podcast. Be sure to visit our website at https://headlinesandhistory.com, email at jonmolik@headlinesandhistory, and find us on YouTube at @headlinesandhistory. Enjoy!

Welcome to another episode of Headlines and History with Jon Molik. This week I cover in full a topic that I've talked around in the past: the new axis of evil...or is it? For many, Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea are a group of adversaries that are seen as working together as a counterbalance to the West. Is that really the case? Is China and Russia's participation in BRICS just for economic gain or is their membership more s...

Welcome to another episode of Headlines and History with Jon Molik. This week I ask you to join me for a quasi-rant. Over the past few weeks we've seen multiple attacks by Israel and Iran against each other, and as you might imagine, online prognosticators and analysts abound. What I've noticed is a lack of understanding about, or acceptance of, the diplomatic angles of these military engagements. As Carl von Clausewitz said many y...
Welcome to another episode of Headlines and History with Jon Molik. This week we take a step back and answer a basic question: What is the Intelligence Community? This podcast covers foreign affairs and military conflict, but my experience in the intelligence field often leads to my discussing intelligence-related matters. Therefore, it makes sense that I explain what that is so all listeners can be on the same page. So, I'll discu...

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
