Oh, the tales we will tell, the stories we’ll share,

Of a man with a hat and a cat—so rare!

From Lorax to Horton, the lessons abound,

But what of the whispers, the questions around?

We’ll dive into messages, morals, and themes,

Equality, kindness, and big hopeful dreams.

But wait! There’s more—controversy’s here,

With books pulled from shelves and debates far and near.

Was the Grinch misunderstood, or perhaps it’s a ruse?

Let’s unravel the world of dear old Dr. Seuss.

🎧 Tune in now for a rhyme-filled ride!

Meine Damen und Herren gather round as we tell the tale of die Brüder Grimm! Two brothers in a pre-unified Germany who spent their days writing a German dictionary and grammar laws that were meant to be broken! Oh, and they also spent lots of time writing down stories so they didn't get lost! That's the part that you'll know them for!

Dig out your Lederhosen, follow a path into the forest, and plan to live happily ever after with us and The Brothers Grimm!

Today, we re-visit North Korea one more time to discuss how a tree nearly caused WWIII. Remember that M. Night Shyamalan movie where the trees were the villains? It's like that but a lot dumber. In the 1970s, at the entrance to the 'Bridge of No Return' on the border between South and North Korea, a tree blocked the view of a guard tower—chaos ensued.

Journey with us today into the mysterious world of North Korea, why is Korea split in two, and who are the leaders of the North Korean Government? We'll chat about how it all began and some of the ways that North Korea keeps its people separated from the rest of the world - including the giant empty hotel in the middle of Pyongyang and the death of Otto Warmbier.

Imagine sharing a border with BTS and being unable to listen to them!?

Once upon a time, a man named Hans Christian Anderson fell in love with EVERYONE - and he was rebuffed by almost everyone. Luckily for us, his heartbreak had him do things like write The Little Mermaid and mail it to his friend on his wedding day as a way to say LOOK YOU MADE ME INTO SEA FOAM!!!! It's a bit dramatic, but a win-win for society!

Join us as we talk through this chaotic romantic life together!

Happy Halloween!! Today, we tell the classic tale of Jack the Ripper - who was he? We probably will never know, but we learned some stuff along the way. Like -  most of his victims were not sex workers; they were poor and unhoused, and in 1888, London's mind was the same thing. PLUS - it has to be considered that they were killed while sleeping (and this blew Taylor's mind, but would make a lot of sense!).

Join us today if only to remind yourself that this is not the worst time to be alive!

Farz, in his infinite kindness, tries to calm the great American Anxiety (tm) and reminds us what we've been saying over and over. We just live in times. Not unprecedented times; there's a roadmap for all of this. He brings us back to the Y2K election (Taylor's first time voting!). Within the 'hanging chad' chaos in Florida, there was also the third-party candidate from the Reform Party, Pat Buchanan. Tune in to listen to Buchanan's platform and be reminded that history, as always, repeats.

We LOVE sleeping, but isn't it weird that we have to? 1/3 of your life you spend in a vulnerable state where your brain tells you stories that science hasn't found an answer for! Today, let's talk a little about the theories on WHY we need sleep, and the horrible things that can happen to you if you don't get it!

Tuck in and sleep tight!

Let's hop back into Spooky Season with a very quick history of Witches! We'll talk about what makes a witch and about witch trials in Germany in the 1600s that led to thousands of burnings, specifically the Würtzburg Witch Trials. On the way there, we will talk about Salem, The Malleus Maleficarum (aka Hammer of Witches), and we will talk about how, between 2019 and 2019, more than 20,000 people were killed on suspicion of witchcraft.

Again, you do you, just don't hurt people. As the judge in a 2010 murder case said - "The belief in witchcraft, however genuine, cannot excuse an assault to another person, let alone the killing of another human being." 

Agree to agree.
