    74: Family Feud: Dear Abby vs. Ann Landers (Part 1)
    Oct 1 2025
    For decades, Dear Abby and Ann Landers were the undisputed queens of advice columns. They had millions of loyal readers. They were celebrated public figures. Their columns stood out for being sassy, sharp, and at times, shockingly progressive. But, behind the scenes, the twin sisters had a contentious, competitive relationship.

    In this episode, we set the scene for the women they would one day become.

    Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:

    73: The Pet Rock: A Fad is Born (Patreon)
    Sep 24 2025
    Wipe your slate clean of everything you *think* you know about the pet rock. You’ll marble (err, marvel) over its true history! Its inventor, Gary Dahl, thought he’d created a novelty gift that was set in stone. Imagine his surprise when the pet rock’s popularity began to crumble. Maybe he shouldn’t have taken it for granite? Ehh?? Get it?? In this episode, Kristin also addresses the often-asked question about whether she’s still friends with her former Let’s Go To Court co-host.

    It took countless efforts and nearly three decades to convince Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda that World War II was over. When those efforts finally paid off, Hiroo Onoda went home to Japan. He received a hero’s welcome. But did he deserve it?

I was extremely sad when Let’s go to Court ended. I was very nervous to try out the new podcast but it did not disappoint. I LOVE the detail in depth stories you’ve told so far. So many podcasts are like “lemme tell you everything about WWII in 30 minutes”, I don’t like it, I want the deets. I enjoy the tangents, they make me laugh. Your at-ease fun demeanors make listening relaxing. Keep up the good work and Norm get rid of the squishy ball noises, they make me feel queasy.

in depth, educational, and a ton of fun

I love this podcast! the topics vary which keeps things really interesting. Kristin and Norm do an excellent job going into deep dives on all the topics and the effort really shows. It's never boring. they keep it interesting as well as hilarious so you'll be laughing as you learn all kinds of stuff. the chemistry between the two is wonderful, refreshing, and HILARIOUS! I know I keep saying the word "hilarious" but its just so fitting! Did I mention that I love it? Wonderful podcast.

Hilarious, fun, and quite random indeed.

I like the in depth stories about interesting topics, I would never research myself! They are funny, likable, and relatable. I’m a Let’s Go to Court fan and I’m so happy Kristen and Norm decided to stay on “the air.” Can’t wait for DP to make an appearance. I look forward to new episodes each week!

I like Norm & Kristen

I love the deep dive we had with the John Brown episodes. History is meant to be put in context, so going in depth on the topics is great. I love the dynamic of the hosts and the humor they bring.

Funny and informative

I might have to shout out loud! Goofy Movie puns aside, this is a fun ride so far! I look forward to more amazing episodes!

These podcasters really "Stand Out"

Very fun and interesting topics, the hosts are super dull and think they're really funny when they aren't. It also takes them FOREVER to start actually talking about the topic.
