Why do we move the clocks forward in spring and back in fall? In this episode, we trace the history of Daylight Saving Time from its early ideas to its wartime use and the debates that still surround it today. It's a story shaped by energy concerns, business pressure, health questions, and the ongoing fight over whether the clock changes should stay or go.
