The Story Behind

One of my favorite things about doing this podcast is looking at things in everyday life and wondering if they still have the same purpose they did when they were invented. This week's subject is a bit ambiguous. It's most notably known for bringing a pop of color and whimsy to an otherwise drab suit, but aside from that, it's more seen as form over function. Yet it's so ubiquitous and has been around for hundreds of years, showing no signs of going out of fashion, despite many men counting down the minutes until they can loosen theirs every day.

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

If you've ever read Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," you may hear a heartbeat as something a little creepy. Although it's funny to note that on many sound machines for babies, a heartbeat is offered as a way to help them remember one of the sounds they heard in the womb. However, for doctors, the sound of a heartbeat can tell an awful lot about a person. It's one of the first things they listen to during a physical exam. It's also one of the first things an OB-GYN looks for and, later in the pregnancy, listens to for a pregnant woman.

While listening to the heart isn't new in the world of medicine, one of the most common tools for doing so is only a little more than 200 years old.

No new episode this week, but I wanted to give a quick update on the book, since I am up against deadline right now to get it finished on time.

I also wanted to thank everyone in The Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook for their encouragement and support, and also go through some of the #TriviaTuesday posts from the past few weeks.

Thank you to everyone who listens to the show and has been so patient waiting for new episodes. You are all basically my inspiration whenever I sit down to get another chapter done. :)

Earlier this week, one of the funniest exchanges on social media came about after the company known as IHOP changed out their P, which stood for Pancakes, to a B. Initially, no one knew what the B stood for. International House of Breakfast? International House of Bacon? International House of Brunch, complete with mimosas? Nope.

The B stood for Burgers, something IHOP has offered on its menu in the past, but when they finally revealed what the mystery was, they also decided to change their marketing to reflect that. And people were bittersweet about the change, including some of the other fast-food social media accounts, with Wendy's even throwing shade on their Twitter account, saying, "Can't wait to try a burger from the place that decided pancakes were too hard."

So, that gave me the idea for this week's episode. And, by the way, the change from IHOP to IHOB is only a temporary marketing campaign.

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

No, those weren't bloopers, although I'm sure this episode will have plenty. Those were actually number nicknames used in a particular game that's been around for 500 years we'll be talking about today.

This isn't your granny's church basement version, either.

The role of Edwin S. Lowe was played by Stargate Pioneer from the GonnaGeek Network, and it was watching Better Podcasting before writing this episode with him and Stephen Jondrew that inspired this topic. So, there you go, Stephen and SP, you guys saved my podcast tonight!

If you're one of the die-hard listeners of The Story Behind who eagerly await the episode to be released at midnight Eastern time on Thursdays -- yes, Adam, I'm talking to you — you may be wondering why it's a few hours late.

Usually, when an episode is late, it's because I'm either dealing with family things or taking too long editing. But not tonight. The reason is that I'm hopelessly addicted to a game on my phone called Toon Blast. And I was on a winning streak tonight so, yeah, not a very good excuse.

But it did give me an idea for this week's episode.

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

As many of you know, The Story Behind is being turned into a book, which means I'm in the process right now of doing probably one of my favorite parts of making the podcast, which is doing a ton of research in preparation.

This week's episode will be one of the chapters in the book, but the information and the inventor was one I found hard to keep to myself until the book came out. Even though we may curse at this week's topic sometimes, it's saved numerous lives and made driving much safer since its invention.

I've only done one other episode of The Story Behind about a song, and that was The Story Behind Imagine by John Lennon. And if you've been in the Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook, you probably would think I would be doing The Story Behind Arica by Toto. Well, not yet.

Usually, I get ideas for topics from stumbling into a piece of trivia I find fascinating during the week. However, this week, my son has been not only working on walking, but working on his first words, and his favorite one lately kept getting a particular song in my head.

Want a hint?

This will be a different episode from normal, since I normally don't do interview shows, but I wanted to bring on Nick from the Epic Film Guys to talk a little bit about the fundraiser he and other podcasters are doing called Livestream for the Cure.

Nick is one of my oldest friends in podcasting and we met each other when we were in the beginning stages of podcasting, so I know you've heard me talk about him before. He was even on the episode The Story Behind Forrest Gump (The Movie) and he's also provided me with his voice for previous shows and even a picture of his Beard for The Story Behind Beards. He's a great friend to me and supporter of the show, so I am so honored to have him as a guest on today's episode.

If this is your first episode, this is a warning it'll be a little different than past episodes, but it will also be a good way to hear what this show is about. Does that make sense? Don't worry. It will.

On the day I'm recording it, it is currently my birthday. It's the ninth time I am turning 27, or 35 if you want to rub it in. And one of the great things about social media is getting birthday wishes from all over the world, so, really, I've been celebrating for 36 hours.

One message came from Rhett from The Wall-Fly Podcast who wished me a happy birthday and joked about The Story Behind Emily. But, since I hadn't really planned ahead for this week's episode, I thought it was a great idea, so thanks, Rhett!

So, this might seem like a little bit of vanity episode, and you're more than welcome to skip it, but as I've found with podcasts I listen to, I really love learning about the host, so I hope you'll enjoy this!
