Bradley and Kate hosts History Buffoons Podcast, a history show with 140 episodes published.

They tried to fix a snake problem with cash, and accidentally built a snake industry. We’re Kate and Bradley, and we’re telling the infamous real-world story behind the Cobra Effect, a perfect example of unintended conse
A 5-foot-1 farm kid gets told he is too small for war, then he breaks into the French Army anyway. That is not a metaphor, it is Albert Roach’s real World War I origin story, and it sets the tone for one of the most jaw-
The most famous hymn in the world has one of the most uncomfortable origin stories. “Amazing Grace” was written by John Newton, a man who spent years at sea, fought authority like it was his job, and participated directl
A U.S. destroyer chases a German U-boat through the North Atlantic, the sonar pings start to lie, and the target seems to vanish like a ghost. The twist isn’t a secret engine or a lucky escape. It’s ocean physics. We wal
Deadwood starts with a simple, dangerous idea: there’s gold in the Black Hills, so people move in even when they’re not supposed to. We follow the real history of Deadwood, South Dakota from its first days as an unsancti
Curious George didn’t just come from a cute idea. He came from a suitcase of drawings carried through a collapsing Europe while German-born Jewish refugees tried to stay one step ahead of the war. We tell the story of H
A $125 million Mars mission disappears because two teams can’t agree on units. That’s not a sci-fi plot, it’s the kind of avoidable disaster that makes us laugh, then cringe, then double-check our own work. We start with
1.5 million balloons rise over downtown Cleveland, cameras roll, a Guinness World Records official watches, and a fundraising idea turns into a story people still argue about decades later. We’re Bradley and Kate, and we
The Preakness is only 1 3/16 miles, but its history takes way more twists than that. We’re coming off watching the Kentucky Derby, mixing up the signature Black Eyed Susan cocktail, and then digging into how the Preaknes
A man in late 1700s France can eat nonstop and still feel starving. Not “big appetite” starving, but a relentless, aggressive hunger that drives him from normal meals to rotten meat, garbage, and eventually things nobody
Mary Todd Lincoln’s name still gets tossed around as shorthand for “unstable,” but that label collapses the real story into a punchline. We dig into what her life actually looks like when you line up the facts: a politic
One tiny technical glitch turned pop perfection into one of the biggest music scandals ever. We’re Bradley and Kate, and we’re digging into Millie Vanilli, the late-1980s hit machine that gave the world “Girl You Know It
A pitcher so dominant he rewrote the strikeout leaderboard, and so unpredictable he could be lured off the mound by a puppy in the stands. We’re Bradley and Kate, and we’re telling the story of George “Rube” Waddell, a D
A kid climbs onto a train believing he’s headed toward something better, clutching a single pink envelope addressed to the father who just gave him away. By morning, it’s gone. That small theft becomes a gut-punch symbol
Ninety-six people died at Hillsborough in 1989, but the shock isn’t only the disaster itself. The part that keeps twisting the knife is what came next: an official story that didn’t match what families and survivors live
A decent, hard-working reformer walks into the 1850s, discovers spiritualism, and decides electricity can save the world. That’s not a metaphor. We’re telling the true story of John Murray Spear, a Universalist minister
Ninety-six people die at a football match, and the first story many hear is that the fans caused it. That tension between what happened and what powerful people claimed happened is why we finally sat down to tell Part 1
Kate’s running on a cold, Bradley’s trying to fill in, and somehow that turns into one of our most chaotic History Buffoons hangouts yet. It starts with a Wisconsin detour to Rebellion Brewing Company in Cedarburg, where
High heels with a permit. Bigfoot with legal protection. A city rule that basically turns snowballs into “missiles.” We grab a stack of real municipal codes and ordinances that are still on the books and ask the only rea
