    Throughout WWII, the same doodle with the same words started appearing everywhere on Allied bases. "Kilroy Was Here" accompanied by a sketch of a bald man peering over a wall.

In this episode, we learn about the region, its dialect and the reason for this strange accent. Then we play the quick quiz with my wife Alison!

  • Rube Waddell: Major League’s Strangest Pitcher
    Jun 17 2024

    In the late 1890s and early 1900s, Rube Waddell attracted crowds to his Major League Baseball games for several reasons. Firstly, he was one of the most dominant pitchers of the time. But perhaps the larger reason had to do with his incredibly eccentric behavior. He would run out of the stadium to chase fire trucks, leave the mound to play with puppies, call his whole infield to the sidelines while he struck out a batter and more. The stories never end with this unusual guy and we talk about his strange career in this week's episode. Then we chat with Magic Storyteller, Taylor Hughes.
