We break from our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this archaeological special! Ana & Ivana were at an archaeological conference this week and wanted to share some of the weird and interesting artifacts of the past with you, so they interviewed a variety of archaeologists about their favorite artifacts. They had a lot of fun meeting everyone and learning a plethora of objects that fall into the where did it go category.

A history of transportation! Ivana covers the invention of seat belts, which were actually used in planes way before cars, and Ana covers the bloody history of the chariot, which certainly didn't disappear for the reason you'd expect. Other topics include: red velvet chairs, tiny horses, Sports rivalries, and bags for your baby.

It's our 20th episode AND it's a Holiday themed one! Ivana covers the history of the USA's craziest shopping day of the year: Black Friday, and Ana covers everyone's least favorite Thanksgiving side: Aspics...which basically turned into a history of gelatine, jell-o molds, and jellies. Please join us in celebrating the festivities of the holiday season & best wishes from us in dealing with all your crazy uncles. Please subscribe, rate, and review.

It's an episode of strange chemical compounds! Ivana covers the long history of how we've knocked people out for surgery & Ana discusses the disastrous results that came from mixing lead and gasoline. But don't worry....it's all for money, right? Other topics include hot sauce, glowing girls, and how popular cocaine has been throughout history. Please, rate, review, and subscribe!

We're trying out a new format this week to bring you the best stories from history. In this short episode, we discuss the history of heating and cooling - namely air conditioning and heated jackets. One of these is a surprisingly recent invention and provides a beacon of hope to all cold weather haters. We also talk about how people cooled off millennia before electricity was discovered.

Join us this spooky season for our very first Halloween episode as we confuse Malcolm's and spoil some horror films. Ivana gives the history of everybody's least favorite party activity: Ouija, as well as some useful tips if you do decide to break out the ol' planchette. Ana follows with the macabre history of the Frozen Charlotte - a morbid little doll from the Victorians, who, quite frankly, you can always expect to be morbid. Oh, and it was baked into cakes, too. Please follow, rate, and review!

This week we delve into the weirdness that is medical history, with Ivana's absolutely disturbing story about the state of women's health and Ana's less intense history of medical scrubs (which was chosen specifically to counteract how intense Ivana's story is). You've been warned! Other topics include unlimited chicken, Whole Foods hot bars, ripped jeans, and how legit Wikipedia is. Please follow us on Facebook and check out our website!

We met up in person for a huge day of recording and this is the first of the three episodes we worked on that day. That also means it's probably the sanest of the next few episodes coming out. Ivana talks about roller skates, which my be older than you expect, although our perception of the 18th century is that "everyone was fancy and weird." Ana talks about Aqua Dots, a toy that seemed fun, until you decided to try and eat them.Follow us on social media, rate, and review!

This week we depart from our usual format to tell you the history of two ideas instead of objects. Ivana discusses the origins of Moth Man - some combination of legend, cryptid, angel, and omen...or was he just a big owl? Ana talks about an alternative evolutionary theory that says human ancestors didn't come down from the trees to chill in the grasslands, but instead went to the beach. Oh, and it was Ana'a birthday too - check out what she did on her social media & don't forget to follow us on Facebook while you do!

This week we talk what we deem to be "things made from trees." Ana talks about the very petty history of toilet paper and all the things we used to use instead of it. Ivana covers the very DIY-ish history of the wooden swimsuit and its accompanying "Spruce Girls." Other topics of the week include Momo, pine needle soup, Girls Rock Camp, duct tape trends, and the merits of showers. You'll learn a lot more than just the history of these two items in this episode for sure! Please follow, rate, and review!
