About this listen

Did you know that Henry Ford had a massive impact on square dancing in America? Or that the act of recycling traces back to 500 B.C. in Athens? Bizarre History takes listeners on a journey through history to explore the surprising origins of favorite pastimes, cultural traditions, and societal norms and examines how they became commonplace - and what they say about our society and culture today.
