A little cheesy, but New Year and New Show! I'm back after taking a longer break than expected to get back here, but I'm happy to be back! Why does the show have a new name? Why do the previous episodes say "Old show format"?? Have a listen and all will be explained. Safe exploring everyone!

(Old show format) Cheese, balloons, and clowns....OH MY!!! Riots are a familiar part of history, but they intersect and walk the line of weird history. Listen to learn about wheels of cheese rolling through the streets of Nottingham, a Balloon being torn to shreds because of a rumor, and some clowns take on firefighters in Toronto.

(Old show format) Can you imagine a historical event too boring for textbooks? Honestly, there was one the original story was too boring and the other was left out of the books entirely. Let's look at the truth of the Boston Tea Party and the almost secession of New England of all places. Time to dive back in time and hopefully have a little fun!
