Say Fast Facts Schmacts five time fast and by the time you finish saying it this episode should be wrapping up. Yes, in a desperate attempt to increase our weekly metrics we have added FFS a micro podcast (just when you thought we couldn't put any LESS effort into the show). These collections of short tales are perfect for your morning shower, dump, or commute (but not all 3 ok?). Enjoy!

At the height of the cold war, a man who we envision as either Kurt Russell or Patrick Swayze made a desperate play to save his town from isolation. In a Facts Schmacts first, no one dies in this story? I KNOW! I didn't believe it either. It's practically a Christmas miracle! (also, episode 10!?!?)

Just for a change of pace, we decided to tell a tale so uplifting and positive.... oh wait... Yup, Just finished the show... It's more misery... I have to stop trying to write these ahead of time... Why is history such a bummer?

A cautionary tale of lax standards and poor decisions, much like our podcast. 4 nuclear cores were produced during the Manhattan Project. We know the story of the the first three, but what about the fourth? Sit back and listen as Matt meanders his way through the tale of "The Demon Core"... The worst kind of metal.

There are few tales as fraught with disaster, tragedy, mistakes and calamity as the tale of The Battle of May Island. Seconded only by this podcast in scope of error, May Island was one the most costly and unnecessary blunders of the British Navy during WWI
