Every episode looks into the surprising and fascinating history of things we think are ordinary, but they’re not -- like ice cream flavors, video games, baths and more. We make learning about the past fun while teaching listeners to think critically about history.

I am a huge history buff. I can’t believe you’re back. I look forward to each episode. (FYI, I sent in a question about the history of mini-golf) I’ll always be studying history, and please, we need more questions sent in. I hope everyone else does too. Also, PLEASE stop saying one fact and capitalizing on it for the remaining 25 minutes. It’s a trend in recent episodes and I enjoyed the deep dives of the past. Forever Ago forever on. Oh, and mayo haters, we’re with you!!
