by An Old Timey Podcast
History class just got hilariously inappropriate. Kristin Caruso, co-host of the true crime comedy podcast, Let’s Go To Court (16M+ downloads), and Norman Caruso, creator of the Gaming Historian YouTube channel (1M+ subscribers), team up to deliver a history podcast that is well researched, wide-ranging, and deeply silly. In other words, this is a podcast for intellectuals. Intellectuals who make fart jokes.

<div>“OMG, the sun is up! Shouldn’t you be awake, doing productive things?” … that’s essentially what Benjamin Franklin shouted when he advocated to change the hours of human activity to take advantage of daylight. <br> <br> That idea later evolved into Daylight Saving Time. Since its inception, Daylight Saving Time has had its fans and critics. In this series, Norm refers to the critics as Sun Cynics. The fans? Sun Sluts. Where will you land?<br> <br> Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: <br> Byrne, Kerry. “Meet the American Who Created Time Zones, Charles F.

<div>In the summer of 1974, the Cleveland Indians had a big problem. Hardly anyone showed up for their games. It was embarrassing! So, the team’s management brainstormed ways to get butts in seats. Ultimately, they opted to host a handful of 10-cent beer nights. They hoped that the cheap beer would draw people to the stadium. <br> <br> The good news? The plan worked! The bad news? It was pandemonium!<br> <br> Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: <br> “Fifty years later, the chaos of Cleveland’s 10-cent beer night still shocks,” by Zack Meisel for The New York Times <br> “10 cent beer night: An oral history of Cleveland baseball’s most infamous night,” by Vince Guerrieri for Cleveland Magazine <br> “The night beer and violence bubbled over in Cleveland,” by Paul Jackson for <a href="http://espn.com">espn.com</a><br> “10-Cent Beer Night: A look back,” video by Sports & Extras Network<br> “Ten Cent Beer Night Was A Total Disaster,” YouTube video by Weird History<br> <br> Are you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?

<div>In the year of our Lord 1953, the city of Springfield, Missouri, had a terrible problem. Deadly cobras kept popping up in people’s yards! What were cobras doing in Missouri? They weren’t native to the area. Who the hell had rolled out the welcome mat?? <br> <br> For the local police, the sudden presence of cobras wasn’t nearly as mysterious as it sounded. A local store, the Mowrer Animal Company, sold all kinds of exotic animals. Organutans! Crocodiles! And...you guessed it...cobras! But when police talked to the store's owner, he claimed innocence. What was going on?<br> <br> Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!
