We’re celebrating the fifth birthday of The Mark Steyn Club, and we thank especially those First Month Founding Members from May of 2017 who’ve decided to re-up for a sixth year. Among the changes we’re making as we begin our second half-decade is an expansion of one of our more recent attractions. The Hundred Years Ago Show began in the first few weeks of lockdown as an occasional feature on the audio edition of The Mark Steyn Show. It proved so popular that we introduced a monthly anthology edition. We’re now making it a full stand-alone show every Sunday at around this time. We hope you’ll make a date.

May 1922 continues with Ukrainians on the march in New York and the blackest day in the Reichstag’s history. An English solicitor goes to the gallows, the Pope objects to a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and The Daily Mail is sky-high. And, on Memorial Day a century ago, Union and Confederate veterans come together in Washington for the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. Plus all the other headlines from bonds to baseball – and the sounds of the age from balladeers to bandleaders. Click above to listen.
