  • Measuring Misfortune: The Pirate Who Stole America’s Metric System
    2025/05/19

    In the late 18th century, America was THIS close to adopting the metric system. Washington wanted it. Jefferson wanted it. France was helping by sending a ship with official metric weights and measures. But the entire plot was ruined by British Pirates. In this episode, we tell the story of America's closest flirt with the metric system, how the plan failed and then we play the quiz with Comedian Glen Tickle!

  • Malicious Compliance: The Car Company That Sabotaged the Nazis
    2025/05/12

    Sometimes, the best resistance looks like obedience. During the Nazi occupation of France, the Citroën automobile factory seemed to be cooperating — manufacturing trucks for the German military like any other commandeered facility. But behind the scenes, the French workers were quietly waging a war of their own. This episode tells the story of how a simple dipstick nearly brought down supply lines... and explores other clever examples of malicious compliance during WWII. Then we chat with Comedian Tristan Miller from New Zealand!

  • The Cincinnati Zoo’s Darkest Exhibit: Native Americans on Display
    2025/05/05

    In 1896, Native Americans were put on public display at the Cincinnati Zoo as part of a fabricated "village" exhibit. It wasn't just Cincinnati—similar human exhibitions took place around the world, reinforcing damaging stereotypes. But how did these events happen, and why do their impacts still linger today? This week, we dig into one of the most shocking forgotten chapters of American history. Then we chat with Grammy-Winning Musician and Michael's college buddy, Josh Quillen.
