But Have You Heard About‪?‬ Courtney and her cool friends

Well hey there listeners, did you miss me? Probably not, but I'll pretend that you've been in a void of interesting history factoids. It's been a literal year plus since I uploaded an episode. And I am starting this party off with some fun history. On today's first episode back in 2024, Trisha and I discussed the MOVE bombing in Philly--who is MOVE, why did everyone (especially their neighbors) hate them, what shout out, and the bombing. Originally called the Christian Movement for Life,...

On this week's episode of But Have You Heard About, Matt and I talk about Starseeds, or star people. Have you heard about this awakening? There’s a growing group of people on Earth who believe they’re aliens, or descendants of former alien interactions with humans. They are awakening to their Starseed origins and are here now to help in the transition of earth, where earth changes will precede our joining a greater star community of planets. The thought is that Starseeds originate from ...

But have you heard about the Lager Beer Riot that occurred on April 21, 1855 in Chicago? Maybe not, unless you're really into Chicago beer or politics. On this week's episode, we are talking about an interesting combo–politics and beer in Chicago.

Germans brought with them their love of brewing beer and journalism, with many setting up tavern...

Picture it: a 30 year old Michael Jordan has just won his third championship in as many years with the Chicago Bulls. He doesn't look to be stopping--and yet, he retires on October 6th, 1993 to the shock of so many. Why would the greatest athlete at that time retire? His father was murdered that summer, he had taken a physical beating in those playoff games, and emotionally he wasn't in it. All of that adds up. But...what if it had to do with the gambling stories that came out during the NBA ...

On this week's episode we are taking a little detour from fun, gripping, or little known history to dive into something a bit more…creepy? We are talking about the history of haunted and creepy dolls. What makes so many of us shiver in fear of raggedy Anne and Andy? How long have creepy dolls been...a thing? And not just dolls being creepy…but things in general being creepy. Dolls have been around for AGES, and mean a lot to many people. Whether they taught young girls skills...

Maybe you have heard about the face on Mars, or maybe this is your first time...just like Matt. Whatever the case may be, this week we cover the idea of intelligent design, aka aliens/lonely left on Mars human, in regards to the face on Mars photos. If you've never seen the photos, check out this link with a story from NASA. There are also other photos that many claim to see OTHER images in the rock formations/shadows. Matt and I talk about the conspiracy pusher, Richard Hoagland, and his cre...
