An Hour of Our Time

This week, it's time for part two of our series on the Food and Drug Administration. Don't get a tummy ache.

This week, we start a two-part series on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Spoiler alert, a lot of food used to be spoiled. Stop drinking raw milk.

This week, we discuss Josef Mencik, aka The Last Knight, who stood up against Germany tanks (while wearing a suit of armor) when they invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938. And...we're joined by our longtime co-host, Mark!

This week, we start a new anthology series...all about superstitions! Break a leg...

This week, while Dave is on a trip to Gettysburg, we revisit our episode about the battle for which the town is known.

This week, we return to our discussion of pseudoscience and Atlantis and firmly blame this nonsense on the likes of Ignatius Donnelly and Edgar Cayce.

This week, we start our discussion of Atlantis by talking about pseudosciences and Plato's origin of the myth.

This week, we're doing someting a little different - an interview with our friend Joe about what children can learn from the act of play (something we discussed during our episode on toys). Longtime listeners will remember Joe as a founding host of our podcast, and he is now pursuing a doctoral degree in education, which makes him a perfect person to talk to about this topic.

This week, we need a short break to catch up on a few things so we're revisiting our episode about Nazis and the occult. We'll be back with a new episode on May 4!

This week, we discuss Bacon's Rebellion - an armed rebellion held by Virginia settlers that took place from 1676 to 1677 (or so says Wikipedia). We say, it's an example o two jerks turning their issues into everyone's problem...and with disastrous consequences.

This week, we return to our ongoing series about idioms and discuss the origins of another set of commonly used phrases.

This week, we present to you a sample of the exclusive content available to our Patreon supporters - an interview with Kathryn Kaslow from the Westerville History Museum. Revisiting our Prohibition episodes, we discuss the Anti-Saloon League and its connection to Westerville, Ohio.

This week, we discuss the life and achievements of the ultimate Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci...and the curious story of what happened to his remains.

This week, we discuss the infamous pseudoscience called phrenology - the prediction of mental traits by measuring bumps on the skull.

This week, we conclude our series on Prohibition by discussing its effect on bar culture, its connection to organized crime, and its repeal in 1933. Drink up!

This week, we discuss the events that lead up to the prohibition of alcohol in the United States with the 18th Ammendment. Get ready for dry January. And...our Pateron is official active! patreon.com/anhourofourtimepodcast

We're taking a short break for the holidays and will be back with a new episode on January 12. In the meantime, enjoy our episode on New Year's Traditions!

This week, just in time for Christmas, we're discussing toys - their history, their sometimes dangerous results, and why humans (and other animals) play with them.

This week, for its 82nd anniversary, we discuss the military attack by Japan on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor.

This week, we are joined by Leanna Buker (Dave's wife and professional cook) to discuss cooking history and techniques. Bon appetit!

Surprise...new episode! This week, we're trying something new - discussing a movie that is relevant to one of our past episodes. In this case, we're discussing Brotherhood of the Wolf , which focuses on the story of the Beast of Gévaudan (covered in our 2021 Werewolves episode). As mentioned, we are launching a Patreon soon, and this is an example of the bonus content we are planning to offer.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN - we are reposting our 2021 episode about werewolves to prepare you for an upcoming new episode. Pay close attention to the section about the Beast of Gévaudan - a series of strange animal attacks that occured in France in the 1760s.

This week, just in time for Halloween, we discuss candy - its history and how it's made!

This week, we discuss the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand - the event that sparked World War 1.

This week, we discuss the history of roadside attractions - their rise/fall and why Joe has visited so many.
