Afternoonified ·

2022/06/01

We had a few more lighthouse jokes left in us so we took them to Scotland! Only this time the weird part isn't so much what people saw on the island of Eilean Mor and more what they didn't see.

Witch Hunts

As it turns out, Salem wasn't the only time in history when you could just accuse someone of being a witch and have them legally executed. People have been doing that old song and dance for a while. This week we get into a few of the notable hunts and how, exactly, these hunts were legal.

There was once a time when everyone was into ferns. Like... REALLY into ferns. We can't explain why people are so weird, but we can get into the Fern-Fever that overtook Victorian-era England.

We're going to level with you... there's a lot of trivia and history about lighthouses in this episode. However, there are also old sea captains, insanity-inducing piano performances, more little girls than you can shake a really big stick at, and, the attempted exorcism of an entire island.

Mini: Holy Communion on the Moon

2022/04/20

At some point, we're sure you've wondered things like "What do astronauts eat in space?" or "Hey, can you make beer out of space wheat?" Luckily we have taken it upon ourselves to find the answer to these questions and many more (so long as they're related to astronaut food). There's even a snack food review segment!

Relics

2022/04/13

There is only so long that we can go without talking about body parts and the Catholic church and, wouldn't you know it, we were overdue for both of those things. We have a roundup of some of the more...colorful relics of saints from around the world. Some of which we honestly could have gone on not knowing about.

Secret Societies are silly, there's no way around it.
