A Breath of Specific History

Wait wasn’t this in the fun facts for coffee?!

This is the longest episode yet! Sorry about the delay for many weeks, but I was taking a break. I probably mispronounced 2 names so you can call me out on that if you want through email.

History is Brewing, with a little creamer.

Talking about coffee today! No, it wasn’t actually discovered by a goat herder, sorry to burst your bubble.

Pop-ing in with the history of soda!

This is the first episode that has soundproofing foam! I also have a guest that may or may not come back: one of my cats, Beelz. I had to extend this episode into multiple segments because the history of soda is only 2 minutes.

Fun facts that we wren’t prepared for.

Longest episode that I’ve done yet! So there isn’t really a topic for this week, it’s just fun facts. Warning: this episode contains cringe.

I hope this episode is BEARable

Will I ever stop putting bad puns in the title to my episodes? No. Was this episode about teddy bears and their history? Yes.
