Delete This History

What the heck is a moomin? And why do we care about space? What are we doing here? These are just some of the questions posed in this week's epsisode of Delete This History. Also, the DTH Gals say so long for now as they embark on their summer hiatus. See you in September!

This week Brea and Cara are blinded by science (rat dissections) and tears (military reunion videos). The Search Me segment is smokin’ hot and the gals tumble down a rabbit hole of comfort drinks and comfort objects. And it would feel just plain wrong if they didn’t discuss traffic and the weather punctuated with some Cara crying. All this plus strong opinions, a new listener, and the stirrings of...

This week, the DTH Gals taking a trip down memory lane in a certain three-door sedan, making lists about lists, talking about dead historical figures, and cracking up at the things OTHER people search the Internet to find. WHAT ARE WE DOING? Exactly. What are we doing? Join them as they explore the fever dream that is modern life in this week's episode of Delete This History.

This week: Wild West energy, Midwest loyalty, strong opinions, and a new claim to fame for Springfield, MO. It's Delete This History!

Ever been so bored during a movie that everyone else seems to like that you start to question everything about yourself, including the color of your heart? What about the color of your aura? How much would you pay for something that some claim could "revolutionize your life"? Do you think "tech" like that should be only for the rich? Who put the ramalamadingdong in a donga? And, finally, what shou...

The gals are back with Episode 104! They’re a little echoey, a little rusty, and kick things off with septic tank slurps. Cara survives a questionable DIY piano move, while Brea logs a road trip to Green Bay, complete with football feelings and floodwaters. “Search Me” delivers Italian boredom and beauty myths. Then the gals pivot to radical female politicians, old-school politics, and now-rich Ca...

Hear us out... this episode will make you laugh. Sure, the DTH Gals talk about extinct animals and one woman who had a really rough life and a really old dad, but the rest is comedy gold. Don't believe us? Guess you'll have to listen for yourself. While you're at it, rate and review us so we can get rich and famous.

In Episode 102, Brea shares a major accomplishment and Cara sees a movie. 'Seach Me' gets weird mixing CPR and boogers and then weirder when you find out that Old Yeller ain't who you think he is. Cara insists on more Nazi talk where ego and moral detachment collide in ways that feel too familiar. And just when you need a palate cleanser—Brea saves the day with a story about a tiger, a secret drin...

It's time to psych you up with some fascinating information about platonic affection and a famous historical trial that both made and broke an eminent psychiatrist. Plus, do you know your lithiated beverages and your U.S. DOJ history? (You're in good DTH Bestie company, if you don't.) This ain't a history podcast, but you wouldn't know it from this episode. Oh, well, sometimes the podcasting Venn...

Episode 100. Somehow…they’re still here. No weekly searches. No normal flow. Cara and Brea blow up the format with surprise segments, a lightning round of trivia, and a full rewind of the things they’ve Googled over the last 99 episodes. Brea flips the script and puts Cara in the hot seat and Cara gives the DTH Besties and survival kit they never knew the needed. Press play and learn a few things...

The DTH Gals are goin' back to the 90s to talk about some cool beans music, because they are UNHINGED, or... Patrick Swayze ("crazy") or David Blaine ("insane"). That's right... get ready to learn some British slang that, on the surface, makes no sense and may put a look of confusion on your boat race, but it won't cost you any bees and honey, and you won't get into any Rubble learning about it. A...

February is finally over and Cara and Brea are adjusting to life without football… and apparently without folding laundry. A quick round of “Search Me” leads to rented pineapples and the truth about artificial sweeteners that made some lab rats side-eye their coffee. If you like nightmares and elementary PTSD, stick around for grade school policies from the 80s and 90s such as lice checks, the swi...

This week, the DTH Gals take you on a history field trip to the site of a little-known US war and share some lazy-ass exercise ideas.

This week’s episode starts with rain and motivational quotes and somehow ends up in death row dinner research, forgotten cash, and late ’90s diet pills. No lessons. No moral arc. Just two besties learning, unlearning, oversharing, and laughing. Press play and find out.

If you had a massive amount of displaced dirt--literally--where would you put it? Could digging tunnels be the answer to all of our erosion problems? Cara explores. Plus, Brea explains the fascinating science and people behind solving some of the world's oldest, toughest cold cases. There's also the typical amount of silliness, including the age old question... "Who shot JR?"

Episode 94 goes from nail-biting confessions to Olympic-level scandal. Cara and Brea unpack a very unexpected cheating controversy, explore why rom-coms made a comeback, discuss the power of breast milk donation, and debunk some Wild West myths that Hollywood definitely lied to us about. Throw in some winter weather hijink by Brea's SO and a New Bestie Alert you’ve got a classic Delete This Histor...

This week, the DTH Gals grapple with a case of the gabs, but they manage to convey SOME information about their internet searches after some lengthy discussions about the Olympics and how to make basketball better, plus how expensive a visiting comedian's tickets are. If all their babbling had been included, you'd still be listening to this episode before next week's episode comes ouot. Too. much....

An off-schedule morning podcast recording starts calmly and then, predictably, doesn’t stay that way. Cara and Brea talk energy, motivation, and the low-grade exhaustion that comes from being the person who notices everything. There are questionable choices, new words no one asked for, and observations about modern life. Some things are learned, several things are judged, and nothing is fixed. Wel...

This all new episode finds Brea and Cara doing what they do best: following one thought straight into 47 tangents. From banana pudding recipes and Walmart guilt, to new teen drivers and broken bridges. The gals discuss termite mounds and Jägermeister which leads to nostalgic tales of questionable 20-something decisions. Brea reveals her newest guilty pleasure while Cara whines about waking at 6:00...

The DTH Gals have already told you about "interesting" foods from around the world; now it's time for Cara to help you take a hard look at American culinary weirdness. Plus, what's white, fluffy, and falls from the sky in the winter but isn't snow? Brea has the deets on this less common weather phenomenon. All that plus some WWII history and some cat psychology this week on Delete This History. Ad...

The DTH Gals get really silly (you don't say) talkin' ab0ut dead U.S. Presidents' butts and a cult movie classic they both adore. Plus, Brea tries to hijack Cara's main search topic, and Cara gives us all a Latin refresher. As usual, there are giggles galore, and nothing is sacred.

Episode 88 kicks off in full six-seven mode as Cara and Brea attempt to decode and dethrone Gen Z nonsense and discuss why cold-brew cocktails are a crime against tomorrow morning. Recorded in the liminal haze of Christmas Eve Eve Eve, the DTH Gals have some follow-ups for the DTH Besties to help close those wide open loops of info from previous episodes. Then they cover the meaning of dub con and...

What's the first physical feature you notice when you meet a person for the first time? Listen to find out what the DTH Gals spot and fixate on. Also, if you think death is the ultimate statute of limitations for prosecution, you'll want to hear the wild tale Cara's dug up for you. Myths, legends, and stories that are stranger than fiction--all this week on Delete This History (not a history podca...

The DTH Gals are this close to 100 episodes and… doing absolutely nothing extra about it. Cara and Brea kick things off by complaining about traffic (great story, Grandma), questionable driving decisions, and the kind of brain fog that induces Christmas tree panic. From there, you know how it goes, DTH Besties: Irish breakfasts, apple-and-cheese-dinners, Scottish desserts, tiny hitchhikers, Peeler...

Brea and Cara keep it zestfully clean (well... relatively), safe, and silly while discussing homeland security, philosophy, and mental health. As usual, there's an insane amount of unplanned crossover with their search histories (even the boring searches) and their "Search Me!" questions, and some of the conversation goes off the rails, but that's what you've come to know and love and why you keep...
