Welcome to Our Skin, a Personal Discovery Podcast. Each week, host Holly Frey showcases a personal story from someone who lives–and thrives!--while managing psoriasis. Being diagnosed with a chronic skin condition can throw anyone off track, but Our Skin guests have a message of hope: a diagnosis can be an opportunity to discover new things about ourselves, our grit, and our power. In addition to these tales of hope, Frey and her guests plunge into the jaw-dropping, bizarre, and occasionally ...

Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become ...

Surprise! The ACTUAL swans song!
Our friend Matt Borders has departed the show… As a parting treat though, he dishes up one last story that ties into the spirit of the holidays. The Christmas Truce of 1914, a shred of humanity during the darkening days of the First World War.
The Truce has become so steeped in legend that it takes on an almost mythical perspective. During the war need articles and letters where written about it. Between the two world wars books referenced the event and following the Second World War the event has made it into film on several occasions.
What exactly happened on Christmas Eve and Day 1914? Did it occur as popular culture would have us believe? What happened to the men involved? All this and more will be discussed as we dive into this very special event, the 1914 Christmas Truce.
Happy holidays from The History Things Podcast!!
