Episode 2.3 - Slipping on a Banana Peel

In this episode of the Why Is That Podcast we explore the origins of the popular slapstick technique known as the banana peel slip and fall. In order to do so we track the spread of the banana into a worldwide dietary staple, the development of urban sanitation and the early stage and film actors who perfected the technique.

My 42 Favorite Ongoing History Podcasts (A 2019 Update)

Image
Each day I sit at my desk and scroll through my podcast app trying to decide which episode and show I should listen to next. Podcasts, and specifically history podcasts, are what keep me entertained on a day-to-day basis. When I refresh my app to bring in newly released episodes I always stop to wonder what I would do if every single show in my app came back with a notification of a new episode. How would I organize which to listen to first? This question fascinated me and I have decided to explore it by making a list of my 42 favorite history podcasts. The list is determined by which show I would listen to first. It should be noted that I have listened to far more than 42 shows so I really do love all of the shows that appear on this list and I think you would too. Or maybe I just have a problem and listen to way too many podcasts. You might be wondering, “Why 42?” Well, if 42 is good enough to be the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything then

My 42 Favorite Ongoing History Podcasts

Each morning as I prepare to take my dog for a walk I refresh my podcast app in order to see if any of my many subscriptions have published a new episode. In the few moments it takes to refresh I sometimes imagine what I would do if every single ongoing history podcast that I follow were to have published an episode at the same time. So far that has never happened, but nonetheless, the moment brings up a great question. If every podcast I follow had a new episode, which episode would I listen to first? I have decided to explore this question by making a list of my 42 favorite history podcasts ordered from which show I would listen to last to which show I would listen to first. I would, of course, eventually listen to all of the episodes; partially because I love all of these shows and partially because I have a podcast problem/addiction, but an order would have to be decided. “Why 42?” you may ask, well 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everythin

New to Me, New to You? - Ten History Podcasts I Recommend to You

Image
One of my favorite things I have experienced since I started my podcast (The Why Is That Podcast) and launched this companion website is the interaction with the history podcast community. I recently shared my recommendations for my  42 Favorite History Podcasts and 10 History Podcasts Launched in 2017 . After posting those on my site and sharing them on Reddit, Facebook and Twitter I received a lot of recommendations for other podcasts in which to listen. In my opinion the best podcasts are the ones who inspire their listeners to suggest them so I took the time to listen to each new recommendation. I will admit I have not caught up on all of them, but I have created a list of ten of them that have become regular members of my podcast playlist and I wanted to repay the creator’s hard work by recommending them to you. So here is a list of ten podcasts that I have discovered since posting my previous lists that will definitely be contending to make my favorites list when I updat
