AF-1065: The Real Story of April Fools’ Day | Ancestral Findings Podcast


Listen Later

April 1st often arrives with a mixture of groans and eye-rolls, especially for those who have been on the receiving end of thoughtless pranks. While some brush it off as harmless fun, others know the sting of being caught off guard—sometimes in ways that leave lasting discomfort. Behind the jokes, however, is a centuries-long story filled with cultural shifts, misunderstandings, and changing attitudes toward humor and public behavior.

Whether you appreciate the tradition or dislike it entirely, April Fools’ Day has a rich and complicated past worth exploring. This episode digs deep into its history, how it spread globally, the meanings it has taken on over time, and the growing pushback against it in modern years.
