Whether you are wanting to study up for a trivia competition, or are just listen to some friends talk about strange things, this is the podcast for you! We have everything from space sandwiches and American emperors, to Mormon wars and glowing cats.

  • EP 41: To Be Or Not To Be … In Ohio?
    Jul 29 2024

    With there being so many states, it understandable that sometimes it would be confusing to know which one you are in. But it gets more confusing when people begin arguing over which state you should be in and are willing to stab you if you disagree with them.

    May 18 2024

    Howdy y'all and welcome back to History Spelunkers. In this episode we discuss the Texas Revolution and all of the convoluted history that led up to it. In this episode yes we do remember the Alamo, it just takes us about a while to get to that point.
