EP 035: HEY MR SANDMAN

EP 039: 221B BAKER STREET

What was, unbelievably, even more exciting than the first Glenfiddich single malt Scotch, or a man circumnavigating the world on a Penny Farthing? In this episode, we're talking about deerstalkers, magnifying glasses, and the one thing that really got the Victorians to talk about their feelings.

EP 038: THE MONARCH OF MONTGOMERY STREET

What do you do when there's more rice than sauce, nobody remembers your birthday, and you're fed up with the governance of a nation? If you aren't naming yourself King, you're doing it wrong. In this episode we're spending time with Norton I, the first Emperor of the United States.

EP 037: WHEN TIGERS SMOKED PIPES

What do the Ancient Egyptians, JFK, and Chapter One of the Lord of the Rings all have in common? If you aren't thinking of high drama birthday celebrations, this one is for you. Today, we're asking who had the first birthday party, how many candles should really top your cake, and why Rameses II got an extra celebration.

EP 035: HEY MR SANDMAN

What's the secret to castles on the shore, beautifully sleeping children and automated girlfriends? In this episode, we're talking the Sandman, the Sad Man and one or two men that are just, frankly, mad.
