    118 The Unsolved Disappearance of the Man Who Invented Motion Pictures | Paul Fischer Mar 29, 2022
    Show notes

    Louis Le Prince was the first person to create moving pictures—but just weeks before unveiling his invention to the world, he mysteriously disappeared.

    Three and a half years later, Thomas Edison, Le Prince's rival, made the device public, claiming to have invented it himself. And the man who had dedicated his life to preserving memories was himself lost to history—until now!

    112 The World's First Talking Dog! | Christina Hunger Aug 10, 2021
    Show notes

    I think every dog owner, myself included, has wanted their dog to talk at one time or another. Well buckle up because Christina has taught her dog to talk and you can too!

    In this episode I'm joined by Christina Hunger who taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using over 50 simple paw-sized buttons programmed to say different words. It's kinda similar to the way Stephen Hawking used a device to communicate.

    Tune in to learn…

    -How to teach your dog to talk,

    -How Christina took her knowledge as a speech-language pathologist and applied that to her dog,

    -How long it took Stella to learn to talk,

    -If Stella gets annoying and talks all day,

    -How Christina & Stella's relationship has deepened by having the ability to communicate more clearly,

    -& so much more!

    Watch some videos of Stella talking & get tips for teaching your own dog to talk...

    111 The Truth (& Lies) About How Baseball Happened | Thomas Gilbert Jul 27, 2021
    Show notes

    I'm admittedly not a massive baseball fan but I do enjoy a good origin story and some outrageous fiction. This episode has both!

    I'm joined by Tom Gilbert, author of the book, How Baseball Happened: Outrageous Lies Exposed! The True Story Revealed.

    The wrongness of baseball history can be staggering. You may have heard that Abner Doubleday or Alexander Cartwright invented baseball. Neither did. You may have been told that a club called the Knickerbockers played the first baseball game in 1846. They didn't. You have read that baseball's color line was uncrossed and unchallenged until Jackie Robinson in 1947. Nope. You have been told that the clean, corporate 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings were baseball's first professional club. Not true. They weren't the first professionals; they weren't all that clean, either. You may have heard Cooperstown, Hoboken, or New York City called the birthplace of baseball, but not Brooklyn. Yet Brooklyn was the home of baseball's first fans, the first ballpark, the first statistics—and modern pitching.
