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

History for people who hate boring history

Over 1400 episodes. Somehow, we are still finding stupid things.

The Stupid History Minute is a one-minute comedy history podcast hosted by Keb Pound. Every episode dives into the weird, funny, and surprisingly ridiculous history behind everyday items, inventions, foods, traditions, toys, and the stuff nobody else thinks to question.

Because apparently everything has a backstory. Even toilet paper.
