On Mr. Johnson’s Time Machine our host, Rory McBain is joined by Scientist Dr. J. Jon Johnson. Dr. Johnson is the inventor of this amazing new proprietary technology, which allows the listener to peer into the past and hear the sound of every conversation that’s ever happened in history. Together, Rory and Dr. Johnson will travel back to the biggest moments in the history of our planet and discover how close the history books are to the truth.
So please join us each week as we take a trip through history on Mr. Johnson’s Time Machine!
*We have agreed to declare that the technology we are using is very new and experimental and technically it is not a time machine, nor are results guaranteed. (This is just legal mumbo jumbo folks, it’s gonna be great!).

Money
What was supposed to be a focused and purposeful look at money and the inventions, companies and methods of procurement, turns into a good ole fashioned beat down. Rory is a child. Mr. Johnson is a man.

The First Thanksgiving
Uncovering the truth about some of the most widely held (and false) notions of Thanksgiving, Rory and Mr. Johnson return to the days of the Pilgrims. Ephraim Zumpf is still at the studio so yeah, he's there too. It's kind of sad really. If you knew him when he was younger... Anyway, Rory actually shows up for work so I guess he gets a gold star or some shit.

The Last Supper
Rory can't be bothered to show up for work this week so Mr. Johnson enlists an old friend who is an expert in the field of religion. Together the old friends walk memory lane and check in on The Last Supper.
(Probably the best episode ever, as it contains 100% less Rory.)

Cowboys and Hitler
Rory and Mr. Johnson find themselves in a strange place when an attempt to dive deep into the old American West goes unsettlingly awry.
WARNING! This episode contains Hitler and what appears to be the sounds of beastiality.
(Though not together, obviously. Well, not "obviously". Who are we to say what kind of shit that guy got up to? Anyway, you have been warned and have thus waived any rights of protection.)

Customer Reviews
Thanks for making me look like an idiot
I listened to this while taking a walk in my neighborhood and a group of Cool Moms saw me openly guffaw at the Dust Bowl episode. The actors who do the historical bits are hilarious, but I imagine sometimes awkward at parties. Anyway I love this podcast even if I have to move out of my neighborhood.
Clever Stuff!
Only these guys could make the Dustbowl funny! Great podcast!
I Loved It. It Was Much Better Than Cats
I’m going to listen again and again.
