The Donner Party

Afternoonified ·

2023/02/22

In May of 1846, a group of 80-something pioneers set out for California and a new start. The problem is, some con man with an agenda had convinced these folks that he had a shortcut. Along with pretty much every other mishap that you can imagine, this shortcut ended up costing almost half the members of the infamous Donner party their lives. This week, Emily and Sara tell the story of just how one group of people can end up completely f*cked from every direction. Support Afternoonified by

Geoglyphs

Afternoonified ·

2022/09/20

Before we had TV, video games, major league sports, books...pretty much anything fun, humans had to do something with their time. For whatever reason, they opted to carve intricate lines into the earth that resembled things such as snakes, horses, and, big naked guys. We're not sure why, but the real fun is guessing, isn't it?

The Loudun Posessions

Afternoonified ·

2022/09/07

After countless stories of fun women being burned at the stake for being witches, we thought it was time to cover a similar story involving a man. As it turns out, it's actually pretty easy to have a powerful member of the clergy tried and executed for witchcraft so long as you have a vindictive Cardinal, a convent full of bored nuns, and a victim who actually is kind of a dick. Needless to say, father Urbaine Grandier was screwed from the very start. Support Afternoonified by contributing to their

Afternoonified ·

2022/08/24

One chilly November in 1970, an 8-ton whale washed ashore near Florence, Oregon. While there were probably a couple of different ways this could have been dealt with, the powers that be decided half a ton of dynamite would be the solution to their problem. Spoiler alert: It was not.

Deux French Affairs

While the title definitely sounds like we're about to pitch a sexy new series for Starz or something, there's actually a little bit more to it. This week we're diving into The Affair of the Poisons and The Affair of the Diamond Necklace, both of which are very French and also heavily feature fun women and stupidly horny men.

Neanderthals

Afternoonified ·

2022/06/08

Somewhere between a grunting, club-wielding dullard and Fred Flinstone lies the reality of what cavemen actually were. Despite the archaic idea of a Neanderthal living on in the minds of many, there were a lot of complexities in the lives of one of our ancient relatives and we're going to get into them and what it meant to be an archaic species of human (or what scientists theorize it was like.)
