Description

Listen to joke-boy Jack Grimes (@Jackapedia_) and actual-history-major Sarah Brody (@meattunic) break down a fun little piece of weird history every week on History Nugs, a show about when and why crazy things happen. From the tumultuous history of tomatoes to the anus of Louis XIV, nowhere in time is safe from Jack and Sarah's examination and goofs.

This week on a new Spooky Nug, we're exploring & theorizing about the Mary Celeste, one of history' most famous disappearances. Did pirates kidnap the crew? Aliens? Atlantis? Or is there a regular dumb boring explanation?

Welcome back to History Nugs! Season 4 kicks off with our oldest episode yet as Jack and Sarah investigate an exciting new archaeological find- some extremely old bread. I'm talkin', like, 2000 years older than the previous oldest bread.

This week on History Nugs, we (kinda) revisit an old topic we had some partially-done notes for lying around. This one's kind of a mess, y'all. Finals are coming up.

This week, we're celebrating good ol' Jethro Tull's birthday by talking about his life, times, and good farm inventions- plus a deep breakdown of some farm drama. And the band, too, sure.

History Nugs is back! This week, to tie up Women's History Month, we're talking about the lives of two adorable old ladies who decided to live together in the least intuitively-pronounced place on Earth.

Jack here, again. We're too busy to make a holiday special, even though we promised you guys. Sorry about that! It's finals week and somehow I didn't realize that when we were planning out the end of the season. We'll see y'all in February for season 3!
As season 2 comes to a close, here's a little update in lieu of a regular episode, where I talk about what's happening next year and where History Nugs is headed.
This week, in a hot new post-Thanksgiving episode uploaded from my grandma's computer, we're going on a fun little turkey journey through "this is a fun fact", "wait, this fact is false", and then "hey, this is absolutely false, why do we all know it?". We also run out of actual history content about 20 minutes in, if you need a nap or need to run to Target for some deals.

This week, in another episode Sarah was very excited about, we're discussing the time everyone's shoes got too horny, and the law had to step in. Things got wild for a minute.

It might be called the Pork and Beans War, but there was some serious beef. Thought of that one myself, just now. Thanks. Anyway, some lumberjacks got into a big fight over who got to cut down what trees and it led to some pretty wild antics.

This week, we're shedding our Halloween branding and fiction and also using the transition to quietly cut the show down to half-hour episodes. It's us, the New Coke of podcasts! Anyway, this episode is about the life and times of Tycho Brahe, the great astronomer everyone forgot who also had a sweet island castle.

This week, on our final Spooky Nug, we're talking about an axe murderer. But more importantly, we have a very real and not-a-goof podcast announcement. Yeah. Spoooooky!

This week on Spooky Nugs, it's the Bell Witch haunting (which is... confusingly named, because it was a ghost, not a witch. Any time we say "witch" we're referring to a ghost.) A family struggles to live in a haunted cabin, and then, like so many events of the early 1800s, Andrew Jackson shows up and it gets real rowdy.
