The Story Behind

If you're listening to this episode when it comes out, you may know that The Story Behind book will be released on Monday, October 15th. In the spirit of that, I'll be doing a few episodes revolving around books. This topic seemed almost too easy to cover, since the invention was something I think we all remember learning about in grammar school.

But, as per usual with this podcast and the book, whenever I dig a little deeper, I always find out new information that wasn't in my history books. While those books were most likely printed using modern-day printers, there wouldn't even have been widespread use of books without today's topic in the first place.

I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Printing Press.

I'll be releasing a separate episode with a book update, plus a sneak peek into the book's acknowledgments because I really want to thank everyone, not just in the book, but also in the podcast, so check your podcast app and the show notes for that link.

There will be a new episode this week, but I also wanted to put out a bonus episode talking about The Story Behind book, which releases Monday, October 15th.

In all honesty, it's still not real, even after getting the advanced copies of the book, and on top of everything, social media fatigue and impostor syndrome have really gone into overdrive the past few weeks. But before the book launch day is here, I wanted to thank you all, once again, for all your support. Plus, get a preview of the acknowledgments section in this episode.

Only a few more weeks until The Story Behind book is out! And one of my podcasting mentors and buddies Dave Jackson gave me the idea to do a bunch of episodes relating to books around this time to hopefully set the mood for its release.

While I was looking into different topics, I found out that the week this comes out, the week from September 23-29, 2018, is Banned Books Week, so what better time to have that as a topic.

I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Banned Books.

• The Story Behind the Necktie

School picture time is here and every time I get my daughter ready for her picture, I try not to follow current trends too much. I have this fear she'll have the same experience I had in 1990 when my mom decided to go all out with my school picture and not only give me a big enough pinafore on my dress that it could double as a wind sail on a small boat, but she also teased my bangs and hair so much that I remember the photographer moving his camera back to get the full look.

And, yes, if you follow The Story Behind on Twitter, Instagram and in the Facebook group, I'll post the picture for you all to see. I also encourage you to post some of your school photos so I don't feel as bad.

But I bring up this picture for a reason. There wouldn't have been that awful picture in the world without the topic of today's episode.

I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Hairspray.

I honestly didn't think I would be as interested in the history of today's topic when I first started reading about it. There was a lot of chemistry involved and anyone who knew me in high school knows that was the worst subject for me. When you listen to the episode, you'll notice I kept the chemistry aspect to a minimum. But as I kept researching, what intrigued me the most was when the chemistry switched to biology and women's studies toward the end, when working conditions for those making today's subject resulted in a serious epidemic and women went on strike to protect themselves and other workers.

I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Matches.

I love when I find out an origin story I think I knew turns out to be either a widely believed false rumor or when I find out other people learned different origin stories. That's what this episode is about, so if you think you already know the story behind today's subject, you may be surprised to learn there are actually multiple versions.

I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Teddy Bear.

For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer is pretty much reaching the end. And, as a parent, I'm pretty happy about that because it means my daughter is back in school.

But before we start talking about Pumpkin Spice-everything and the holiday season, here's one last hurrah. And, for many like me, no summer is complete without having ridden the topic of today's episode at least once. Although, you might be surprised to learn its origins actually began as a winter recreational activity.

It's less than two months until The Story Behind Book releases and I am so super excited and it still doesn't seem real yet. If you haven't pre-ordered your copy yet, you can find the book on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Now, believe it or not, there are a lot of books with "The Story Behind" in the title, so people have said searching The Story Behind with my name works well.

Or, the super easy way is to go to TheStoryBehindBook.com and click the links over there. By the way, the more people order the book, the more the price will go down, and when you pre-order on Amazon, you won't be charged until the day it releases, so the more people you share this news with, the more the price will go down.

And, one more thing, I was told by my publisher to let people know that if you are an Amazon Associates member, you can make an affiliate link to the book on Amazon and share the link with your audience on your blog or website to receive a little kickback when people purchase it using your link. Anyway, thank you to everyone who has been promoting the book so far. You are all amazing and it's meant the world to me that fellow podcasters and listeners have been some of my biggest supporters. This really is one of the best communities in the world. So, thank you!

This episode will be told in layers. The tasty summer treat I'm talking about has three ingredients, and while they're all delicious on their own, together they are incredible. And this episode will be set up similarly, with different stories smushed together into one show.

This episode has just a little mature subject matter in the first section that refers to the birds and the bees, just a heads up.

Today I'm doing a collaborative show with Josh Hallmark from the podcast Our Americana, which explores unique small towns across America through the stories that impact, cultivate, and challenge community.

America can feel oppressive. Every day it feels more and more like pieces of it are disappearing. That it's losing its value. But … there are monuments and mementos of the past if we just take a moment from our busy lives to take a look. Strange reminders of small victories, new life, love stories, and the strength of community. These stories are all around us, relics of station wagon days, on the highways and gravel roads that connect us all. It's easy to dismiss them as icons of capitalism; if you build it, they will come, and buy. But, there's always something more there, something deeper.

I'm Josh Hallmark from Our Americana and I'm Emily Prokop and this is the story behind Roadside Attractions.

If you're listening to this when it comes out, you may know that next week I'm going to a huge conference for podcasters known as Podcast Movement. And I thought it only appropriate to do an episode related to this.

You may be using the topic of today's episode right now and listening to this episode with it. You may have even been appalled two years ago when Apple announced it was getting rid of the jack to plug today's episode topic into on their iPhones. Nevertheless, almost everybody has a pair or two nowadays. And many, like me, may not even use them for their intended purpose, which is to listen to music or podcasts, but as a way to safeguard ourselves from talkative coworkers or overly friendly sales people.

I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Headphones.
