Hosts Emily and Sara attempt to understand the weirder aspects of science, history, and the paranormal using their best coping mechanism...comedy

    Mini: This Episode is Cursed

    Mini: This Episode is Cursed

    Okay, it's not, but when Emily makes a promise, she delivers! This week we're actually talking about birds and babies again... as in a selection of stories about birds kidnapping babies and how many men with guns it takes to fight off an eagle.

    Spoiler: it's more than you'd think.

    Cursed Objects

    Cursed Objects

    Before you pick up that oil painting of a crying boy at your local thrift shop, maybe take a second to consider that it's cursed... This week, we're taking a look at a couple of cursed objects that range from kitschy art to literal historical artifacts and what effect they had on the people who encountered them.

    Also, we know we were actually thinking of David Attenborough, not Richard. It'll make sense later.

    Mini: Architecture & Tapas

    Mini: Architecture & Tapas

    We all have that one project that we've been working on for what feels like forever. But imagine that half done jigsaw puzzle was actually the largest church in the world and you've been picking away at it for over a hundred years. This week, Sara returns from her vacation in Spain to tell us the story of the unending construction on La Sagrada Familia.

    Cleopatra

    Cleopatra

    The story of Cleopatra seems pretty straightforward. A beautiful Queen using her charms to gain power and, eventually, lose it tragically. While some of that is true, Cleopatra's image and story have long been the victim of Roman propaganda and rumor.

    We don't claim to have all the answers, but hopefully we can set the record straight on a few details of this incredible woman's life.

    Mini: Like a Fiery Claire Danes

    Mini: Like a Fiery Claire Danes

    It's a vacation episode! Emily visited Los Angeles and came back with stories about old rocks AND old rockers. Mostly the old rocks... specifically old rocks that have crash landed on earth with some...interesting repercussions.

    Race for the South Pole

    Race for the South Pole

    In 1911, two groups of men decided they would try their luck at being the first to reach the South Pole. Of course, it being 1911, this was a bit of an undertaking that resulted in some very cold boys and quite a bit of drama.

    Warning: This might get rough if you're a fan of dogs and/or ponies...or humans, I guess. Mostly the first two.

Lislucy ,

Interesting topics, however,,,,

This pod cast covers vast, various, and curious topics. The narrater's
Banter works well, at times.
Disappointing though, due to the
Obvious and Blanton absence of research undertaken, required to
Execute a comprehensive, interesting and well balanced story.
After listening to 4 episodes, unfortunately this podcast consistently failed to grow, develop and mature.
Due to this failure ( thorough research, general knowledge, names without their back stories, and absence of time periods), the stories become more and more disjointed and difficult to follow.
This is a genuine shame, as the
Premise of this podcast is unique
And interesting.
