history is a fun thing that I've always loved to just kind of go down these little rabbit holes of looking into stuff.
Uh, our show, this show Rutherford falls was very kind of history oriented.
I played a, an historian with who owned a museum in that show.
And I just, yeah, it was something that felt very organic to me.
But then it's like, well, I still want it to be funny.
And then it was like, well, what's funny in history?
The snafus, the car crashes of history that we can't turn away from.
Those will be fun.
That'll be a fun thing to do a podcast about.
So we partnered with the great people at Film Nation and their podcast department.
set to work on this thing and it just turned into a really intense
with deep research and heavy audio production.
Were you expecting that, the deep research, or did you not account for that?
The first season, I think we were very ambitious, but it worked.
Like, it really clicked, and we kind of figured out, got a rhythm on how to do this.
Anyway, in doing all that research, you just accumulate basically like a pile of these crazy stories.
And some of them don't,
warrant the full podcast treatment.
