Bacon's Rebellion (bacon grease enema)

This week, we need a short break to catch up on a few things so we're revisiting our episode about Nazis and the occult. We'll be back with a new episode on May 4!

This week, we discuss Bacon's Rebellion - an armed rebellion held by Virginia settlers that took place from 1676 to 1677 (or so says Wikipedia). We say, it's an example o two jerks turning their issues into everyone's problem...and with disastrous consequences.

This week, we return to our ongoing series about idioms and discuss the origins of another set of commonly used phrases.

This week, we present to you a sample of the exclusive content available to our Patreon supporters - an interview with Kathryn Kaslow from the Westerville History Museum. Revisiting our Prohibition episodes, we discuss the Anti-Saloon League and its connection to Westerville, Ohio.

This week, we discuss the life and achievements of the ultimate Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci...and the curious story of what happened to his remains.

This week, we discuss the infamous pseudoscience called phrenology - the prediction of mental traits by measuring bumps on the skull.

This week, we conclude our series on Prohibition by discussing its effect on bar culture, its connection to organized crime, and its repeal in 1933. Drink up!

This week, we discuss the events that lead up to the prohibition of alcohol in the United States with the 18th Ammendment. Get ready for dry January.And...our Pateron is official active!patreon.com/anhourofourtimepodcast

We're taking a short break for the holidays and will be back with a new episode on January 12. In the meantime, enjoy our episode on New Year's Traditions!

This week, just in time for Christmas, we're discussing toys - their history, their sometimes dangerous results, and why humans (and other animals) play with them.
