This week in history we explore where Canada got its name - “O Cartier” doesn’t doesn’t have the same ring to it. Who would be the king of the ring? The Hulk would smash the competition. Speaking of smashing, this company has been smashing the market with their electronics since 1946. VCR or VHS? Toe-may-toe, toe-ma-toe? Discover for yourself on this week’s journey through time!...more56minPlay

This week join Trish and Mike as they travel across time exploring the sinking of the world’s most famous ‘unsinkable’ ship. A map of the icefields would have been helpful...too bad Rand McNally wasn’t onboard. From the sea to the sky, who really shot down The Red Baron? A Canadian has always been attributed the honour but join us as we discover why that isn’t really accurate. Don’t have a cow man when you find out this famous family debuts on television this week in history. And from one dysfunctional family to another we talk crown jewels on 2 Minute Tutor Time with Trish. You can enjoy a golden nugget (of info) as we celebrate the opening of the first McDonald’s!

April 08, 2021Ep 15. - Terry Fox, Napster, and the AstrodomeAll aboard! It’s time for your weekly adventure through history with Trish and Mike!

From astronomy to the Astrodome, we learn about the first indoor baseball game. You won’t find too many bugs in AstroTurf but you can learn about where the term ‘bugs' for computer glitches came from as we discuss the invention of COBOL thanks to a very important American female mathematician and Navy veteran. Technology has grown by leaps and bounds in the past century alone but not everyone is a fan. The band Metallica launched a lawsuit against this P2P sharing site 21 years ago. It’s an Old Bet Sean Parker made a ton of cash off his idea. I wonder how many tonnes 24 million dollars is? Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope 41 years ago this week, his goal was to raise $1 for every Canadian. All this and more on The Time Machine with Trish and Mike!...more58minPlay
April 01, 2021Ep. 14 - April Fool's Day, Nickelodeon, and The OlympicsDo you have your ticket? It’s time to board The Time Machine with Trish and Mike for another adventure through time. This week we start our show discussing April’s Fools Day. Don’t be deceived and end up looking like a half-wit, learn the origins before you fall for a prank! Tomfoolery abounded once Nickelodeon aired for the first time although its popularity may not have topped the first movie theatre. Blockbuster definitely changed the way we enjoyed our movies. Do you know where the last Blockbuster is located? Mike does and you can too (and learn how to collect a special piece of memorabilia.) What else brings people together? The Olympics...or conflict. Either way, NATO’s got you covered....more56minPlay
March 25, 2021Ep. 13 - Typhoid Mary, The Day Baltimore had no Colts, WrestleManiaAll aboard the Time Machine with Trish and Mike! This week has us questioning the standards of movie filming etiquette. Hays would not be impressed with modern standards. He may be more impressed with the upgrades to twister warning systems (although he likely would still question the 1996 film itself.) Someone who likely really wished they could endure modern (health) standards is Mary Mallon, the Irish cook not-so-affectionately called “Typhoid Mary”. The standards for the Baltimore Colts deteriorated quickly resulting in a very quick change of address. Too bad they couldn’t use The Bluenose to ship their equipment to their new stadium. They likely “wrestled” with the decision to move. Get your ticket ready and join us as we unpack this week’s topics....more1h 3minPlay
