The Stupid History Minute
One minute. One Everyday Item. Zero homework.

History for people who hate boring history

The Stupid History Minute is a fast, funny podcast about the weird stories behind everyday things. It is history without the tweed jacket and emotional damage.

One Minute Episodes

Real History

The facts are real. The attitude is the problem.

Unconsciously Comedic

Because history should not feel like detention.

From paperclips and breakfast cereal to toilet paper, shopping carts, holidays, inventions, and all the other stuff nobody asked about, every episode gives you a fast hit of history you can repeat later and pretend you are smarter than you are.
