Happy New Year!
Throughout history there have been some odd ways to make money. For a time in the 19th century one such way was the collection and selling of bird poop, otherwise known as guano. In Episode 126 we will take a deep dive into the Pacific Guano Company of Woods Hole, Massachusetts, luckily from a safe distance. Why were bird droppings considered big business on Cape Cod back in the 1800s?
Jumping ahead well over a century children of the 1980s and 1990s will either smile with warm memories, or recoil in childhood fear as we go way Back In the Day to reminisce about the informative yet terrifying docudrama series Rescue 911. Hosted by William Shatner and with an intro that can still send chills up your spine this show included reenactments of incidents and included real 911 calls.
Some advertising mascots have withstood the test of time. However for every Ronald McDonald, Tony the Tiger, and Pillsbury Doughboy there are ones the came and went in a flash or were just plain forgotten. This week's Top 5 is all about obscure and forgotten advertising mascots.
There will also be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the abject failure that was the attempt at making Daylight Savings Time permanent.
As this is the first show of 2024 there will also be some podcast-related New Year's Resolutions to share.
