    We Didn't Start The... Bernie Getz and Icelandic Volcano!

    A sadder topic today, but a necessary one. And then we learn about volcanoes! Iceland is cool!

  2. 02/10/2025

    We Didn't Start The... Ronald Reagan and Avatar!

    Former President Ronald Reagan gets discussed today, as well as our experiences with James Cameron's "Avatar". Is it a good metric to judge your date? Hmmm...

  3. 09/16/2024

    We Didn't Start The... Belgians in the Congo and George Floyd!

    Politics are hard, and murder is harder. Some rough history this week, some we have a very close memory of. This week discusses the Belgian Congo and the murder of George Floyd.

  4. 06/12/2024

    We Didn't Start The... U2 and Tamir Rice

    The first of some verrry heavy episodes, dealing with police brutality, race issues and the deaths of children. Surprisingly, U2 isn't all fun and games either. So we understand if this isn't the day or podcast episode for you. Nonetheless, the killing of Tamir Rice is an important issue, and we encourage you to educate yourself on the event and ways you can help create change whenever you feel safe to do so.

    We Didn't Start The... Balloon Boy and Mickey Mantle!

    So Anne and Kelly don't play baseball... like, at all. But that doesn't mean they can't appreciate Mickey Mantle and all he brought to the sport. And they revisit an old hoax that shouldn't have gotten as far as it did...

  6. 03/19/2024

    We Didn't Start The... Toscanini and Michael Jackson!

    A musical episode today, though both of the subjects are known for much more than their music. Anne And Kelly have to work to learn about the impact of conductor Arturo Toscanini, and then have to work to reconcile their feelings on Michael Jackson...

  7. 03/12/2024

    We Didn't Start The... Santayana and Oklahoma City Bombing!

    It's time to get philosophical! The writings of George Santayana prime us for the first of some heavy topics this podcast will cover, and Kelly and Anne spend a lot of time talking about life. We hope we ended it on a high note, but please share with us your philosophies and ways of protesting, even the ones that are complicated!

  8. 03/04/2024

    We Didn't Start The... Captain Planet and The King and I!

    Captain Planet isn't as popular as it once was, and somehow Anne and Kelly have completely different childhoods. What lessons did these two pieces of entertainment try to teach us, and do their messages resonate?

  9. 02/12/2024

    We Didn't Start The... Kanye West and Taylor Swift!

    Are you Team Ye or Team Taylor? Anne and Kelly discuss their fandom relationship to Taylor Swift and the artist formerly known as Kanye West. Admittedly, they're a bit more fans of Swift than Ye, but you guys can tell us which albums are the ones to hit up ;) After talking about these artists individually (and an impromptu visit from Kelly's toddler,) we discuss what happened when these two nuclear forces collided.

  10. 02/07/2024

    We Didn't Start The... Queen Elizabeth II!

    Anne and Kelly discuss their memories of Queen Elizabeth, King Charles and the future of the royal family, growing up Canadian and whether their grandmother accurately predicted the end of the world.

    We Didn't Start The...Introduction!

    Anne and Kelly have a rough test episode where they discuss Fall Out Boy, Billy Joel, We Didn't Start The Fire, stuff their mom taught them while watching television and other random stuff. Anne's mic dies halfway through and then resurrects itself, Kelly's mic can hear her mouse clicking, but it's still a fun time!
