The Atkinson Boys are back from a brief hiatus to bring you a handful of fascinating stories. Evan talks about why you probably shouldn't get into treasure hunting if you want to live a happy life and Ken uncovers the dark history of a company whose products are probably in your medicine cabinet right now. Take a listen!
Calling in once more from their separate studios, Evan and Ken are here with a fresh batch of fascinating stories for us. Ken shares the second half of his two-parter on Death and Taxes, while Evan weaves a story about why Kim Jong Il is one of history's biggest Godzilla fans. You don't want to miss this!
The Atkinson boys are live on camera for a very special episode! Evan kicks us off with a deep dive into the world of pseudonyms while Ken begins part one of a two parter on Death and Taxes. Who really wrote the Nancy Drew books and how did Bruce Lee truly die? Find out on this week's Fascinators!
It's a fascinating episode this week! Ken is talking about why Pizza Hut was once the largest kale purchaser in the world and why Gatorade is illegal outside the US. Evan is fresh from a visit to The Portal between NYC and Dublin and is here to report that in America, we just can't have nice things. If ET would have landed in Philly, he would have been killed with hammers, we can tell you that much.
If you've been anywhere on social media over the past month, you'll know that Drake and Kendrick Lamar aren't too happy with one another. Did you know that their feud has its roots in 5th century Norway? Evan charts the history of the rap beef while Ken takes an altogether gnarly trip through the mysteries (and horrors) of digestion. It's alimentary my dear Watson.
In the midst of a move, Evan explains the oddities of street names and lays down a challenge for any daring listeners. Ken shares stories of some truly bizarre firsts and lasts throughout history. The boys are back in town!
The late 60's, what a time. Woodstock was happening, we landed on the moon, two fake rock bands toured the country and an elderly Japanese olympian finished a marathon he started 54 years earlier. Join the Atkinson boys on an exploration of some wild stories from a wild era.
The Atkinson boys are serving up two wildly different and equally bizarre stories this week. Ken discusses the globetrotting history behind the making of a beloved children's story and some of the dark theories about its secret meaning. Evan takes us through the unbelievably strange second career of actor Terrence Howard and his quest to create a geometrically perfect drone hive-mind. It's episode 30 y'all!
Back from a one week hiatus, our boys brought some fresh fascinating facts! Ken walks us through why all the puppies in France have names like Victor and Veronica and Evan takes us through the wild business blunders and bets that led to the birth of the MCU.
This week the Atkinson boys are talking about stories of hope and tragedy. Ken delivers news about the recent space race that you might have missed and Evan tells us the tragic story of Jumbo the elephant and why he might be the original Statue of Liberty. Take a listen now!
