The Pour Over is a Christ-first, politically neutral news podcast. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we cover the day's biggest stories in ~10 minutes, and pair the biggest headlines with brief biblical reminders. Every Saturday, TPO Explains does a shallow dive into your most-asked questions. Today's episode: Daylight Saving Time: Why Do We Change the Clocks? Why do we change the clocks twice a year, and is Congress about to stop? We break down daylight saving time: what it is, why the switch happens at 2 AM, how it started during World War I (spoiler: it wasn't for the farmers), and which states opt out. Plus, we explain the Sunshine Protection Act and the debate over permanent daylight saving time. Available to watch on Spotify and YouTube here. Looking to support us? You can choose to pay ⁠here⁠.
