This is a podcast where I describe the history of everyday objects, hopefully every weekend in 3-10 minute sections. I love the thought that something as generic as a toaster can have such detailed history behind it. I am not going to have any ads, because I am not doing this to make money, I’m doing it because this was a fun idea that I had. Yes, I am new to the podcasting world, but I am going to try the best I can!~Sunnyheart
This is the longest episode yet! Sorry about the delay for many weeks, but I was taking a break. I probably mispronounced 2 names so you can call me out on that if you want through email.

History is Brewing, with a little creamer.
Talking about coffee today! No, it wasn’t actually discovered by a goat herder, sorry to burst your bubble.

Pop-ing in with the history of soda!
This is the first episode that has soundproofing foam! I also have a guest that may or may not come back: one of my cats, Beelz. I had to extend this episode into multiple segments because the history of soda is only 2 minutes.

Fun facts that we wren’t prepared for.
Longest episode that I’ve done yet! So there isn’t really a topic for this week, it’s just fun facts. Warning: this episode contains cringe.

I hope this episode is BEARable
Will I ever stop putting bad puns in the title to my episodes? No. Was this episode about teddy bears and their history? Yes.

A true Mirror-Cle! I know it’s a bad pun, but I don’t care.
How impressive! Mirrors have a history too? I thought this episode was going to be shorter than normal, and it turned out about the length of one of my other shorter episodes. I recorded this a bit late because I went on a bike ride.

Facebook: Started at the bottom (cough, lawsuits) and now I’m at the top!
You probably had Facebook on your phone/ tablet/ computer at some point. Maybe you still do. But have you ever paused while scrolling to wonder how it all started?

The Tigers That Live in Your House, and How They Got There
Cats have always been with us. You may even be petting a cat right now. From 1300 BCE to modern day, these little guys have been a large part of our history, and I’m going to talk about it.

Click! Oh! It’s the history of the remote control!
The history of the remote control! This week’s topic was suggested by my grandmother, which means it has to be good! Sorry if I stutter a bit, it is really stuffy in the place I’m recording in ( my closet)

Mother’s Day- the history of the day that we appreciate our moms.
Mother’s Day was one rollercoaster of a history. I was keeping this away for a while so that I could post it on Mother’s Day, and it would be my gift to my mom. If I hadn’t made this episode, I would have nothing to give her :l

Sit down children, it’s time for the Tale of the Q-tip
The first episode where I take a suggested topic! Q-tips- “Hey! We have a story too...” Sorry if it sounds a little off if you are re-listening to this episode. I re-recorded it because the first audio was too quiet.

Wow, LAUNDRY HAMPERS!
I know what a laundry hamper is. Chances are, you do to. You might even be in the same room as one right now. But the question is, do you know how it started? Welcome to the first episode of A Breath of Specific History where I teach you things that you won’t ever use in your everyday lives!
