History for people who hate boring history
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.
Latest Episodes
New episodes every day, because apparently I still have not run out of dumb things with weird backstories.
