Do you remember all the fun you had at the playground?  How about some of those scary pieces of playground equipment?  From free falling from a Seesaw to jumping off a high flying swing onto blacktop-  take a journey with us to the past when we knew that Playgrounds were a dangerous place. 

This is a Relaunch of an older episode- Wait 30 Mins After Eating to go Swimming. Those summer days at the lake or pool. Swimming all the time EXCEPT after you ate!  If you didn't wait 30 mins, YOU WOULD DIE! or at least I Used 2 Know that.  Explore with us how this 30 min rule got started and if there is any truth to it.

Come Join Us at our virtual table for the I Used 2 Know discussion, or as we call it our Banter Show where we make the podcast sausage!  In this Banter episode we talk about lasso snakes, playground safety, landing a job tasting candy, oh and gravity waves- all seasoned with a healthy helping of rabbit holes.

This is a Relaunch of an older episode- I Used 2 Know Phone Numbers. Do you remember wandering around your house with the 2 mile phone cord talking to your friends?  Of course you Used 2 Know their phone number- but not so much these days.  Take a trip through the history of phone numbers and how we got to not remembering them any more.

Please Join Us at our virtual table for the I Used 2 Know discussion, or as we call it our Banter where we make the podcast sausage!  In this Banter episode we talk about eating icicles, life on Venus, sinking a 94ft golf putt and Mega batteries.  OH- and of course all the rabbit holes that come with these.  

Season 2- I Used 2 Know starts now!

We are back!... After a 1.5 year hiatus we're back to talk about the things we Used 2 Know.  In this episode we talk about dream sequences and how they make great excuses when you need to explain shifts in a show.  We also talk a bit about how I Used 2 Know is going to change slightly from the past...

In this podcast episode we dive into the world of dangerous toys. 

In the early days of mass produced toys, manufacturers would design toys to open a kid's mind, maybe let them pretend to be an adult, or release their creative juices, but safety- that was one thing many of the early toys didn't really think about.  From 600 degree F toy ovens to melting lead or creating explosions- these toys could change a fun day of playing to an emergency trip to the hospital.

Journey through our list of dangerous toys- this way you too can wonder how did any kid survive the 1950s, or the 1960s, or 1970s, etc.  BTW- this episode went a little long because we had a lot of toys to cover.  

In this episode we remember those delicious, sweet breakfast cereals that we would eat every day before school in our podcast I Used 2 Know- Sugary Breakfast Cereals.  From why we call it “Cereal” to the current sales of these sugary delights, we go over the history of breakfast cereal and remember the giants like Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops and Captain Crunch (who isn’t actually a Capt.).  Grab your bowl and milk and join us down sweet memory lane.

In this episode of I Used 2 Know we remember the glory days of Video Arcades!  From Duck Hunt through Pacman and beyond, we walk through the history of Video Arcades.  Take a trip with us as we remember all of those quarter-eating machines as well as the other pop culture experiences that orbited these fanciful video machines.

This minipod episode was created because in our podcast I Used 2 Know-Pictures took Time, we discussed how the Kodak Disk film reminded us of the Viewmaster disk.  So in this episode we talk about the Viewmaster, how it helped us win World War II, how much fun we had with it as a kid, and the future of the Viewmaster.
