Description

In today’s episode, we’re revisiting one of the most gloriously ridiculous legal showdowns in American history: the Scopes Monkey Trial. That’s right - it’s been 100 years since a high school teacher in Tennessee got hauled into court for teaching evolution. Because nothing says “land of the free” like criminalizing biology. We’re unpacking the drama, the courtroom chaos, and the cultural clash that turned Dayton, Tennessee into the hottest ticket of 1925. From Bible-thumping lawyers to grandstanding scientists, from media circuses to monkey memes before that was even a thing - we’ve got it all. So whether you’re team Darwin, team Divine Design, or just here for fight club - grab your iced tea (or your whiskey, we’re not judging) and let’s put this trial of the century on the stand. Again.
