On today’s episode, Valerie tells the mystifying tale of an 18th century prank gone wrong! Lancashire County residents were distressed when an outbreak of convulsions began at the local cotton mill and spread nearby. When the doctor arrived, he brought with him a most surprising remedy. We cover this incident and a few other examples of some wild hysterias throughout history. Next, Amy Jo covers the astrology and astronomy of 1787 along with a personal look at friend of the pod Caroline Herschel’s badassery. We also take a look at Amy Jo’s personal connection to the chart of the U.S. Constitution and how Pluto in Aquarius (our sign of the week) may be spurring “the collective” in positive ways.

On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist presents notable moments in American history of the Constitutional variety, bartering for butter, George Washington’s boozy farewell party at Philadelphia hotspot, the City Tavern, and a few fascinating facts about the US Constitution - when the founding fathers created a republic - if we can keep it. Next, Amy Jo tells the wild tale of the Militia Muster Murder, starting with a little history on militias and “Cutting the Mustard”. During a tumultuous and productive year in America, including protest, rebellions (Shay’s), excessive taxation, and young men forced to muster, a terrible accident occurred between Daniel Foster and Amos Chapman resulting in death by musket ball. SO 1787!

On today’s episode, Valerie shares a tragic and all too familiar story of violence against three young black men in 1967 Detroit. The killings took place within the backdrop of a race rebellion, while the “Summer of Love” was dreamily unfolding on the West Coast. We cover the setting, the horrific incident, and the frustrating aftermath. Next, Amy Jo’s Zodiac Back covers the 1967 comet Ikeya-Seki, an unfulfilled plan to rendezvous with Halley’s comet in the 80s, and Beatles Astrology! Yay! Why was Paul such a dick? Why was George so into mysticism? Why is Ringo so nurturing? And why was John so into the power of the people? We discuss our sign of the week Capricorn, and finally dig into the upcoming March astrology. Ready or not, here it comes!

On today’s episode, Valerie presents a most eventful year in American history including war protests, race rebellions, the early Apollo program, the introduction of some well-known junk food, music in the Summer of Love, questionable recipes, and fashion & feminism in the music-heavy 1967 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo breaks down the long history of the wild man of the woods, who, in the mid 20th century became Bigfoot, thanks to several West Coast incidents that spurred interest in the creature. When Patterson and Gimlin happened upon the “real thing” in 1967, they unknowingly captured the most widely viewed footage besides the Zapruter film. But is it real?

On today’s episode, Valerie presents the murder of Johann Heinrich Rieber, beloved mayor of Bönnigheim, Germany. Despite quick action by neighbors (by 1835 standards, that is), the case went cold. A chance conversation in Washington D.C. four decades later with a man who’d been accused of the crime, revealed the name of the killer - a war hero, praised by Robert E. Lee. Next, in Amy Jo’s 1835 Zodiac Back, we discuss the Feb/Mar 2025 astrology and the sign of Sagittarius. We peek at some interesting 1835 natal charts - one volatile person you know has some interesting asteroids in there! We dive into Neptune in Aquarius and cover some past predictions for the transit (no hoverboards!), as well as how it related to The Great Moon Hoax from last week. Lastly, Halley's Comet is back!

On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist includes the Texas Rev(olution), 1835 personal ads, we discuss the marketability of corn milk, the fanciest of fancy meringue cakes, the end of bloodletting and the beginning of double blind trials (were they really trials?), wax statues, and packing the court. Next, Amy Jo presents the fanciful story of the Great Moon Hoax of 1835. The beginning of sensationalism in the press and hints of yellow journalism helped set the stage for a wild, serialized, imaginative set of stories that grew in popularity by the day, kicking off debate in the streets as to their veracity. There’s a cameo by a disgruntled Edgar Allen Poe, oh, and John Herchel is back! Yay!

On today’s episode, Valerie shares the story of the unsolved Gilded Age murder of Mr. John Sheedy, a real estate developer, gaming establishment owner, and all around “sporting” man. We discuss several possible instigators and consider the motivation for the attack, in yet another caning story that also includes adultery, scandal, racism, and greed on the Great Plains! Next, Amy Jo’s 1891 Zodiac Back starts us off with a fable and the roots of fascism, we delve into the February astrology and our sign of the week, Scorpio! We discuss the decline of democracy, talk Pluto Neptune Cycles and their zodiacal dance with Uranus, 1891 comets, and the adventurous life of James Lick and the Lick Observatory.

On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist presents the 1891 major events, we discuss the existence of Fig Newton recipes and Rayon, taking three luxurious years to paint cats, the “Original Italian Cookbook” (shaped after la cucina della nonna - grandma’s cooking!), and Tall-Tale postcards - Is that a giant ear of corn? Next, Amy Jo tells the tragic story of the sinking of the SS Utopia as it cruised into the Strait of Gibraltar. The SS Utopia was a Scottish Anchor Line vessel, with a bedazzled captain and not enough lifeboats. The swift current and high winds on that fateful night took things from bad to worse. The redemption arc? Ghost Tours anyone?

On today’s episode, Valerie covers the largest prison break in Folsom Prison history and the revolving number of men who made it to freedom - some of them were never caught! This wild story includes a bit of the prison’s history and the chaos of the escape and its aftermath. Move over Johnny Cash. (Just kidding, we love him!) Next, Amy Jo covers the recent node changes and the upcoming new moon in Aquarius - just like 1903. Our sign of the week is Libra, and Amy Jo identifies the planet of transportation. We find out what our sun sign “practical mode of transportation” is, and a final highlight is the story of Allen Leo and the criminal history of astrology, in the 1903 Zodiac Back.

On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist features a number of firsts for women, the introduction of the term ‘crayola’, a favorite American motorcycle brand, and Calvin peeing decals. We also discuss one of the first cross-country road trips, musical theater of the day, and the serious debate about whether Nascar is a sport. Next, Amy Jo tells the mysterious tale of a lesser-known, but still totally badass cryptid from the early 20th century midwest, and the truly American (and extremely non-scientific) reaction the prominent men of the town had when they encountered it. We discuss numerous former cryptids that are now mostly well-known animals (Teddy Roosevelt?). And finally, Amy Jo recounts the actions of the Van Meter Vigilantes who enacted a not so genius plan for ridding the town of the monster. It worked. That is until the creature got a rebrand!
