Speaker 1: misunderstood rule of the universe, and as the world becomes
Speaker 1: more complicated and interconnected, the potential for unexpected and profound
Speaker 1: consequences only grows. You're about to listen to a trailer
Speaker 1: of my new podcast, Flashback from Ozzie, the creators of
Speaker 1: The Thread. Flashback is a journey through the hidden connections
Speaker 1: and ripple effects of history. You'll dive into epic stories
Speaker 1: from policy making to personal lives, from the workplace to
Speaker 1: the environment to the courtroom, and together we'll probe the
Speaker 1: dynamics of unintended consequences and explore the reasons some of
Speaker 1: our best slaid plans and human history have gone awry.

Speaker 1: soon received information regarding a massive car bomb exploded outside
Speaker 1: of a large federal building in downtown Oklahoma City, shattering
Speaker 1: that building, killing children. Twenty five years ago, Timothy McVeigh
Speaker 1: killed one hundred and sixty eight people, including nineteen children,
Speaker 1: with a homemade fertilizer bomb in Oklahoma City. McVeigh, who
Speaker 1: received the death penalty in two thousand and one, was
Speaker 1: not alone responsible for the worst domestic terror attack in
Speaker 1: US history. His co conspirator, Terry Nichols, received one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty one life sentences for his part. But it
Speaker 1: goes deeper than that, much deeper. There's another famous figure
Speaker 1: from history whose fingerprints are all over the Oklahoma City bombing,
Speaker 1: one whose name we usually associate with mass production, not
Speaker 1: mass murder. Henry Ford. In Ford set out to change
Speaker 1: American culture. Ford was King. Ford was the most wealthy
Speaker 1: American ever, and nobody says no to that person. Nobody
Speaker 1: and the poisonous ideas Ford spread would start a ticking
Speaker 1: time bomb that would blow up seventy five years later.
Speaker 1: I'm Sean Braswell, and welcome to Flashback, a new podcast
Speaker 1: about history's unintended consequences from Ozzy the creators of the

Speaker 1: you look at the world today. Stories about disastrous turning points,
Speaker 1: dangerous ideas, crazy coincidences, unsung heroes, and forgotten villains. That

Speaker 1: Christian majority of American I think if you had a

Speaker 1: c A inadvertently helped fund global terrorism When there's a
Speaker 1: lot of profits to be had, illegally questionable characters will
Speaker 1: get involved in it, And how a bold effort to
Speaker 1: address the dust bowl of the Great Depression created an
Speaker 1: even longer lasting environmental problem. Biological science has no good
Speaker 1: way to predict how these things happen, and you'll hear
Speaker 1: how these unintended outcomes continue to impact our world today.
Speaker 1: The transmission of ideas is being faciltated at speeds and
Speaker 1: volumes that are were previously unthinkable, and what we can
