You Know What I've Been Wondering?

We have a special this week - it's two for one! Due to some strange technical difficulties, we did not release an episode last week. But we're back with a double feature! Part one of this feature includes the history and invention of photography, as told by Jane. Then Sarah shares some exciting inventions in the near future!

In honor of Sarah's Polish ancestry, it's time to tear apart the political choices of past Polish leaders. Jane shares the short and fascinating history of vegan, then it's time for Sarah to get into the nitty-frustrating-gritty of Polish history. If you think America has problems, this might give you some perspective on that.

Do you know what an Irish Stalemate is? Well, you will now! This week, Jane explains how movies got their ratings and Sarah explains how the Mongols got all that land. As a bonus, we also discuss the line of succession if Kim Jong-un dies. Thank you for listening each week and being a part of our quarantine! Stay safe out there. 

We all need a hero to stop COVID-19 right about now (maybe Dr. Fauci has some hidden powers?) This week, Jane explains the origins of superheroes and Sarah shares the history of the most deadly pandemic in modern history, 1918. Don't worry, we learned our lesson - sort of. 

It's time to make a ruling: is chivalry dead? This week, Jane shares everything you need to know about stained glass. Sarah explains what chivalry really is and whether or not it is dead. As an added belated 4/20 bonus, we added some facts about marijuana legalization! 

What's scarier - the thought of being watched or being 5.5 miles above sea level? We're not sure! This week, Jane explains how facial recognition works, and just how many people have access to a scan of your face. Sarah explains what it takes to climb Mount Everest. The odds are certainly against us! 

Losing track of the days? It's Wednesday! I know, we're surprised too. This week, Jane explains the Denver Airport Conspiracy. Could there really be a New World Order? Sarah tells the story of the Mona Lisa's infamous theft and just for some added fun, there are brain teasers!⁠

There's nothing like some wine talk to take your mind off of things! This week, Jane explains how rosé is made (because, if you're anything like us, wine is helping you through this mess.) Sarah shares the history of one of New York's most fascinating establishments, the Bellevue Hospital. A special thank you to all the healthcare workers and employees for other essential services: you are incredible and we love you.

Stuck inside? It's the perfect time to learn something new! While everyone around the world is struggling to stay calm, we are here to tell you about things you probably didn't know anything about. This week, Jane explains Maritime Law, and what will happen if you commit a crime on a boat. Sarah shares the history of soap (which we should all be using frequently!) and the merits of soap vs. hand sanitizer. Have a safe week, everyone. Protect the people around you by staying indoors! 

Well, folks, it happened - schools are closed and we're staying inside! Which means it's the perfect time to catch up on all the episodes of You Know What I've Been Wondering? This week, Jane explains the science behind hair dye. With all this free time on our hands, who knows what our hair color will be at the end of this! Sarah explains handedness (or hand dominance) and why we need it. As always, please make safe and healthy choices not only for yourself, but for the people around you. Wash your hands and practice social distancing. We will be back with new episodes for the duration of this crisis!
