The History Of...
For people who were bad at history but not too proud to Google it now. This isn’t the history podcast for experts. It’s for the rest of us: the curious, the confused, the ones who zoned out during school but still wonder who invented the fork or why people used to put arsenic in their face cream. Each episode takes one thing an object, a place, a job, a trend and unpacks the weird, messy, often ridiculous story behind it. Just history for people who ask questions late at night and want answers that don’t feel like homework. You might actually enjoy it, and it's enough to make you feel clever at work...for a change.

  • Ep.24 Mood Rings

    Ep.24 Mood Rings
    Oct 3 2025
    In 1975, two New York inventors turned liquid crystal science into the grooviest gimmick of the decade: the mood ring. This episode traces the wild rise of the little band that claimed to read your emotions, from its birth in the “Me Decade” of introspection and astrology, to its short-lived cultural takeover, and its colorful afterlife in retro fashion. Were mood rings accurate? Not even close. Were they fun? Absolutely. Join us as we explore how a bit of science, a lot of marketing, and the human desire to know ourselves combined to create one of the most unforgettable fads of the 20th century.

  • Ep.23 The Wendigo

    Ep.23 The Wendigo
    Oct 1 2025
    Deep in the frozen forests of North America, the Wendigo lurked in story and in fear. Born from the oral traditions of Algonquian-speaking peoples, it was a spirit of hunger, winter, and the unthinkable act of cannibalism. In this episode, we follow the Wendigo’s trail from its earliest role as a warning tale against greed and isolation, through chilling real-world cases in the 1800s, and into its modern afterlife in horror films, video games, and internet lore. Was it a monster, a metaphor, or both? The Wendigo is a story of survival, suspicion, and the terrifying idea that hunger can turn us into something less than human.

  • Ep.22 Graffiti

    Ep.22 Graffiti
    Sep 29 2025
    Graffiti is older than spray cans and subway tunnels, way older. In this episode, we trace humanity’s urge to write on walls from ancient Roman bathroom jokes to Viking ship carvings, World War II “Kilroy” tags, and the wild lettering of 1970s New York subways. Along the way, graffiti shifted from vandalism to protest to art gallery commodity, while still sparking the same old question: is it crime, or is it culture? Either way, it’s proof that humans have always had something to say, and a habit of saying it on someone else’s property.
