The Museum Camp

Sexually-active popes, eating too much melon, or sumptuous Ecclesiastical finery? Take your pick in this episode, because Madison and Meghan are covering Pope Paul II and Mary “animal-birthing” Toft. Yikes.

Buckle in for a silly goose time because today we’re heading to the prestigious Museum of Bad Art! Madison hails her comedy heroes and leads us through a visioning exercise as we celebrate failed masterpieces.

Meghan reveals a secret she’s been keeping in her attic for years: the story of the Dolly Oesterreich murder and love-triangle. Then, Madison gives in to Assmania and shares the phenomenon that was Dick Assman.

Come join us around the campfire! Today, Meghan takes Madison on a journey to Antarctica, and all of the museums that celebrate its history. First, though, we need to discuss the Amazing Race and the recent mishap at the Titanic Museum.

Wow. In this one, Madison introduces us to the minister and ice cream vendor with at least 2 children Curtis Howe Springer, and Meghan tells us about the horrific conditions that befell George Washington on his deathbed. Just give him water, bro!

Today we are joined by our very first special guest: newly-minted pigeon enthusiast and general bird questioner Claire Young. We learn a lot about the humble pigeon at the American Pigeon Museum and Library—from letter-carrying, to racing, to every shimmering thing in between.

Just kill the chicken already! Meghan regales us with yet another upsetting tale, this time of an unfortunately headless chicken named Mike—then Madison takes us home with the wild history of Timothy Dexter.

Talkin’ sports right out of the gate! Meghan gives her hot take on the Olympics, and Madison talks about her love for extreme putt-putt. They plan their coup of the Molossia dictatorship, and present a madlib for their newest patreon member. Then, Meghan takes us on a journey to the Troll Hole Museum.

Madison tells the tale of expert adventuress and con woman Bertha Heyman a.k.a. “Big Bertha”, and Meghan continues her coverage of self-proclaimed micronations with an introduction to The Republic of Molossia, run by a guy named Kevin.

Meghan and Madison share their takes on chess, celebrate some good museum news, then take a quick detour over to reddit before heading to the Idaho Potato Museum. From there, all bets are off - we’re just entirely too excited to be talkin’ spuds with our best buds.
