Happy New Year, Cephalopods! Have you ever wondered why we celebrate the new year in the dead of winter right after Christmas? Honestly, we still don't really know why they committed to this choice, but you can join Emily and special guest co-host Teddy for a somewhat spotty historical exploration of the calendar we all use all over the world: The Gregorian Calendar! Was it invented by a groundhog? Why are some of the months named after numbers, but the never the right ones? How long have we been using this particular calendar? How did we used to reckon days in the winter? Emily and Teddy do, indeed, at least vaguely, answer some of these questions, but they also spend about half the show talking about ghosts! Thanks for listening in 2025, whether you've been around since season one, or just discovered us! Here's to so much more weirdness to help us make it through a 2026 that is unfortunately already turning out to be a doozy.
