On the Season 2 finale episode, Valerie tells the woeful tale of the murder of the beautiful Tobacco Emporium clerk, Mary Rogers. After her second disappearance her body was found near Hoboken, and with so many admirers, who could say who was the culprit? Her story became one of the first works of fiction based on a real crime. Despite the popularity of Edgar Allen Poe’s, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, the crime remains unsolved. Next...
On today’s episode, Valerie presents the birth of the stapler, the monkey wrench, and hypnotism (Yay!), we discuss William Henry Harrison’s giant inaugural poundcake and Crème de Cassis desserts, gush over a stunning painting of Prince Albert’s favorite dog Eos (Queen!), and talk Classified Ads for female physicians, in the 1841 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo covers the Guria Rebellion, along with a smattering of other 1841 events su...
On today’s episode, Valerie tells the twisted tale of Elizabeth Broadingham and the love triangle that ended in murder. When Elizabeth’s real life became too much to bear she ran off to create a new one. Once she tasted the fruits of illicit love she couldn’t let it go, so she devised a plan and “bewitched” her reluctant lover into carrying out the dreadful deed. Next, Amy Jo’s Zodiac Back covers the 1776 outer planet placements, w...
On today’s episode, Valerie outlines some revolutionary events ('twas a big year!), including a shit-ton of battles, and the world’s first submarine, whose mission failed, but at least he looked ridiculous while trying. We also cover a 1776 inspired album full of bangers, what the founding fathers ate on the FIRST 4th of July, and discuss the hottest tech trends of the day in the 1776 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo presents the g...
On today’s episode, Valerie recounts the story of a macabre scandal that shocked Georgian Era Liverpool when a devastating discovery was made after examining three foul-smelling 42 gallon casks that had been left the night before at George’s Dock. That discovery led to another, even more horrific discovery in the cellar of a boy’s school run by a local reverend, and a manhunt for the suspected gang of five ensued. This story is so...
On today’s episode, we discuss the invention of “Friction Lights/Lucifers”, the very first Cowes Regatta, brought to us by the playboy prince, George IV, the cinematic universe of Kevin Costner brought to us by The Last of the Mohicans, the first ever photograph, and the time when frenemies turned penpals (Jefferson and Adams) died within hours of each other on the Jubilee of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, in the 1...
On today’s episode, Valerie shares the petty and ridiculous tale of Andrew Jackson’s murderous duel. This story proves true any rumors of his violent temper and obsession with retribution for ANY perceived wrongs. We outline the dramatic name-calling, the series of “diss tracks” between him and Charles Dickinson (and friends), the challenge to a duel, the unsavory strategies to win, and a controversial end to the events of that fat...
On today’s episode, we visit our old friends Napoleon and Lewis & Clark. We discuss the beautiful Arc de Triomphe monument, Lewis & Clark’s arrival in St. Louis, which was received with great fanfare (except for that one guy), the invention of carbon paper, the cocktail of cocktails - The Old Fashioned, and finally anthropometry in the 1806 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo tells the sensational story of West v. West, a trial th...
On today’s episode, Valerie shares the astonishing story of a rebellion that ensued after a senseless, racially motivated murder in Arkansas, an area that was reeling when its economy was turned upside down after the civil war. The retribution that followed, and the mob’s extended presence in the town afterward was seen as terrorizing or tense, depending on the news source. Next, Amy Jo covers our current day astrology, including t...
On today’s episode, Valerie touches on the Ku Klux Klan Act and the Franco-Prussian War, including an unpleasant but likely necessary Paris Seige Menu, new releases of some favorite foods, maybe the first essential oil diffuser, and a historical Easter-Egg laden 1871 Italian map (along with Reddit comments) in the Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo tells the gross and gory details of the story of the Whaling Disaster of 1871, where 33 wh...
On today’s episode, Valerie tells the story of a group of 114th Field Artillery Regiment men, who shortly after the close of WWI, set out for retribution by kidnapping the most sought after man of the day. They were led by Colonel Luke Lea (yes - that’s his real name), and armed with confidence, a Sam Brown Belt, fake papers, and a Cadillac. While the mission failed, we think it makes for one entertaining story. Next, Amy Jo’s Zodi...
On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist outlines a wild year, including wars, riots, and strikes, as well as a LOT of beverages, as folks prepared for prohibition - Boo! We also discuss the second-ever cocktail book written by the highly skilled, famous African-American bartender, Julian Anderson, an appropriated and offbeat new dance called the “Black Bottom”, and the short-lived magazine, Good Morning, featuring ...
Technical difficulties are never fun. We're bummed we couldn't bring you Episode 65 today. Here's an outtake from Episode 58, about Ye Olde Andrew Jackson, to tide you over.
We love you, and we ain't a'woofin!

In the Zodiac Back, Amy Jo covers the astrology and eclipses of 1883, we discuss...
