43:17

If you were a kid watching TV in the 1980s and 1990s, you probably saw a fair number of “Very Special Episodes,” when the usual blissful bubble of the sitcom world was punctured by real-world issues for a half-hour.

49:54

For centuries European royals married only each other. It was believed to be the best way of consolidating power.

“Nepo Baby” is a term popularly used to describe the celebrity children of celebrity parents. But family connections affect every field of work, and always have.

The Gros Michel: Death of a Banana 40:30

2y ago40:30

40:30

The banana we eat today is not the same kind our grandparents grew up eating.

2y ago47:01

47:01

We love historical “Firsts” so much that we end up ignoring the people who come right after them. But without these runners-up, the trailblazers are just one-offs or oddities––instead of the beginning of big change. Mo celebrates the Black baseball great who joined the major leagues just eleven weeks after Jackie Robinson, the second American woman…
