Bandrew is one of my early and most important connections on my content creation journey.When looking for a microphone to record my first podcast in mid 2017 the Podcastage YouTube Channel was the resource that helped me overcome the overwhelm and make an informed decision. I chose the Samson Q2U, and shared my first episode with Bandrew when it was published. Bandrew recommended I look into Better Podcasting and I turned up to one of their live recordings of their episodes and connected with Stargate Pioneer, Stephen Jondrew and Emily Prokop. I stuck around the Podcastage community and joined the Discord server that Bandrew launched in September of 2017. The Podcastage community has brought so many connections with others that I am entirely grateful for, and the discord server is my most favourite place on the internet. Previous guest Mark Diaz is one of those amazing connections.In December of 2017, Bandrew and I co-hosted a livestream for the Better Podcasting community because SP & SJ weren't able to host an episode. That was a lot of fun! Then in March of 2018 Bandrew joined me for the finale of the first Sunshine Summit Livestream event. And he came back to be a part of the second event where we had an encore playing Portal 2 on Twitch. We've co-hosted a segment for International Podcast Day, and the 4th Livestream For the Cure. Bandrew invited me to have Sunshine & PowerCuts became a part of the Geeks Rising Podcast Network of which Zach, Logan, Cody, Malcolm & Ducky are a part of and since then we've done a few Geeks Rising livestreams...Throughout the conversation we talk about Bandrew's journey, and all the milestones (celebrating milestones is one of my favourite things to do) with Podcastage, the Bandrew Says Podcast, Bandrew Plays, Watchcastage. I restate Bandrew's PSA about turning your headphones down. Protect your hearing! ... Bandrew talks about what audio is to him. And it's a good reminder to tune in to the world around you. I ask about various types of forms of inspiration to try and shine a light on Bandrew's journey of connecting with the things that he makes. We talk about consumption of content, and reading books. I loved this conversation so much. It had been a long time since we have had a chance to catch up and we had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.We also fell off the rails many times, but I've left in a particular segment where a bit of shade was thrown and we ended up in a fit of laughter.On a more serious note, I have learnt a lot from Bandrew and value his approach to helping others and sharing his journey and if you haven't discovered all that Bandrew creates I highly recommend checking them out.You can find more about Bandrew & his content here:bandrewscott.compodcastage.comgeeksrising.com@bandrewsays & @podcastage on Twitter If you have a connection with Bandrew, the Podcastage YouTube Channel, Geeks Rising, Bandrew Plays or Watchcastage we'd love to hear from you!Or if you've made a connection to Bandrew or something he mentioned after listening, please share them with us.And if you know of anyone who may benefit from listening to and learning from Bandrew please share this episode with them too.

I met Nick through the wonderful Emily Prokop of E Podcast Productions and the network of podcast connections. Emily is one of Nick's most important connections he has made through his podcasting journey. We have an 'Emily Awe and Appreciation' moment. Emily has hosted several podcasts, and edits and helps podcasters, but has also been a huge helper and supporter of the annual Livestream For The Cure event that Nick founded and hosts to raise funds for the Cancer Research Institute that supports immunotherapy research and clinical trials. Livestream For The Cure is a huge livestream event of up to 50 hours of content to watch and interact with co-hosted by podcast partners and content creators who get together to provide entertainment and encourage donations. "Together we can make a difference".April 5th 2017 Nick announced the first annual Livestream For the Cure (LFTC). The event raised over $1200.May 2020 event raised over $16,000.The goal for 2021 is $15,000.Lindsey & Perry Johnson are the highlight of past LFTC events. Both were excited to be a part of the event and then Perry was diagnosed shortly before the 2nd event with stage 4 cancer. Donations were raised to help them on their journey and sadly Perry passed away a few months before the 3rd event in 2019. However, Lindsey came back to participate in the 3rd event. Cancer affects everyone and that's why LFTC is so important to Nick and I and everyone who participates. When Nick found the Sunshine & PowerCuts podcast he was drawn to the Sunshine episodes. They helped him check in with himself and rediscover his light during particularly dark times. Nick says that it saved his life, and it is beyond incredible to know the impact it had for him and I am so grateful it helped because Nick gives so much to the world and he has so much more to give!Nick hosts a podcast called Nikoli's Kitchen in which he shares his journey in his kitchen and with positivity and Nick mentioned that it has roots in the Sunshine episodes of Sunshine & PowerCuts. We briefly touch on his previous show the RestauRant Podcast which was born from something negative, as opposed to Nikoli's Kitchen which is founded in positivity. Nikoli's Kitchen radiates honesty and is a project that Nick wants to remain genuine. He talks about the truth that sometimes things don't work out. And other times you smash them out of the ballpark beyond expectations. "You win some, you lose some." Nick highlights that it is a conscious choice to be positive. We aren't always going to have good times. The key is to acknowledge your limitations and accept that it's ok to step back, ask for help and to take a break. I share briefly about my journey of self-acceptance and that I still need the reminders and lessons of the examples drawn from nature to help get me through. Walking has helped Nick to reconnect with his breathing, and give him fresh perspective. Playing video games helps him relieve stress. And having a supportive partner has been a huge light in Nick's life. He opens up about it not being easy to adjust to so much loving support and he is incredibly grateful for his partner Rebecca. And as someone who cares very much for Nick, I am incredibly happy for them both.For more information and all the links for Livestream For The Cure: http://livestreamforthecure.com/Join us live at: twitch.tv/livestreamforthecureTo donate: https://fundraise.cancerresearch.org/fundraiser/3094239To buy a commemorative mugInformation about the event on FacebookOr follow the Facebook Page For links to all Nick's things: https://nikoliskitchen.com/Listen to Nikoli's KitchenYou can support Nick on Patreon If you have a connection with Nick we'd love to hear from you!Or if you've made a connection to him or something he mentioned after listening, please share them with us.And if you know of anyone who may benefit from listening to and learning from Nick please share this episode with them too.

Roberts Middle School in Pottstown, PA. The school is located about 40 miles west of Philadelphia and they house grades 7 and 8 with roughly 900 students. Before becoming a TOSA, Mike taught Social Studies (since 2004) in both 7th and 8th grade at OJR. Aside from being a teacher, Mike is also an assistant wrestling coach at OJR and believes that much of what he does in his teaching and coaching is easily transferable.We discussed:Technology: When used correctly technology can absolutely bring us closer to one another and not further. I used to be one of those teachers that had kids work on projects in my room or watch videos on Zaption so I could check email and grade–it took me a while to fully take advantage of using that time to connect with my kids through conversation. I also have found and used a bunch of ideas to get to know your students and to constantly allow for them to express their own thoughts and feelings in class. Focus on the Kids: I once had a parent tell me I was a pretty good teacher but would be even better when I have kids of my own. At first, I was offended but then I thought about it and how right she was. I have constantly tried to remember that we are teaching people's children, not just students. That framework has really helped me to put my students first. Kids Need It: I see it in my own kids, they are good with technology but they need to learn how to use it responsibly, productively and educationally. I recently read Marching off the Map and it hammered home the idea that now, more than ever, we need to be teaching the “soft skills” in class so our kids can develop meaningful relationships and navigate the uncertain waters their futures hold.

One of my favorite holidays just passed. February 15th. Yup, you heard me right. February 15th, not the 14th. Oh, I love Valentine's Day, but I'm more in love with the discounted candy the day after, including a candy that apparently I'm in the minority when it comes to liking. But this year, they were harder to come by, despite being the most popular Valentine's Day candy. The history of any modern-day candy, actually, can be attributed to these, as well.

One of my favorite things to learn about when researching episodes is how people marketed inventions that had never been on the market before. In The Story Behind Post-its, we talked about how 3M's style of marketing was to show what the product could do, rather than just showing the product. In The Story Behind Dr Pepper, John W. Davis made it a point to tell six people every day his version of the beverage's origin story. And, probably in the running for most audacious marketing of an invention covered by The Story Behind is today's topic, when its inventors rented a kangaroo to help demonstrate the fun jumping capabilities of the product.

Okay, campers, rise and shine and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cold out there today! No, you're not stuck in a loop, unless you've already listened to this episode before. But today's episode is all about a seemingly silly holiday that has a fascinating history behind it and a 1993 movie that probably helped it become most likely permanently attached to Bill Murray.

Even though the topic of today's episode isn't necessarily exercise-related, it would be safe to say it gave me a bit of a workout this past week. Imagine paying $12 for something, then you find yourself struggling to put it on, only to have it rip. Now, because I didn't have time to go to the store for another pair, I put some clear nail polish on the rip and hoped they would hold out for the next few hours until I could take them off and throw them away. Women, you probably know what I'm referring to. Men, don't worry, there's a version for you that's available that, after a Google image search, is now painfully seared into my mind.

(By the way, the men's version is lovingly referred to as “mantyhose.”) Get your very own copy of The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast about her weight-loss journey, Hate to Weight!

Remember the Left Shark from the Super Bowl a few years ago? He was supposed to be just a guy in a shark costume dancing next to Katy Perry during the halftime show. But because he decided to do his own thing, he became the center of attention. Every so often, another Left Shark will come along in the background of an event only to steal the show. The most recent of these was the Fiji Water girl during the Golden Globes red carpet, who has been given the title 2019's first meme after appearing to have photobombed many shots of the celebrities on the red carpet. Her real name is Kelleth Cuthbert, a Canadian model and influencer. That brings us to today's topic. As you'll find out, this everyday object is less about necessity but more about clever marketing, even before Cuthbert generated $12 million worth of brand exposure the past week.

One of my favorite compliments I get about The Story Behind book is that people love reading it in the bathroom. At first, people seem embarrassed to tell me this, but in the introductory chapter of the book, I put a PS at the end that says, “I won't be offended if you read it in the bathroom.. So, in case you want to bring the book into the bathroom or you just want something to think about for those awkward moments you find yourself in a stall without any reading material, this episode is for you.

As I'm recording this, I have my holiday candle burning, my kids hopped up on Christmas cookie sugar, and I'm struggling to find a way to hide Christmas presents from my husband before being able to wrap them. If you're listening to this way later, and you haven't already looked at the title of this episode, get ready for a throwback to what kids and retailers call The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. When I first started this podcast back in 2016, I did an episode like this and I liked it a lot, and it's a nice way to cap off the year, since I'll be taking a winter break with the show until the new year.

I love my job as a podcast editor. I get to listen to podcasts every day and get paid for it, and my clients are absolutely wonderful, as many podcasters often are. One of my clients, Catherine, is the producer for Solo Travel Talk with Astrid Clements of AstridTravel.com. Every episode I listen to, I find out about travel destinations that all end up going on my bucket list. But when I edited a particular episode, answering questions about today's topic as it pertains to different parts of the world, I was fascinated to find out that it was more than what I assumed was a way of saying thank you to a restaurant server.

When I was in Washington, DC, a few weeks ago, I stopped at the International Spy Museum before leaving. I could have stayed in there for hours, and it was incredible to see these gadgets and spy equipment that we normally only see in movies. But a set of pictures intrigued me. They were of both Union and Confederate soldiers using the topic of today's episode to spy on one another. Not only would they use this to observe the enemy, but they were also able to learn the terrain of the battlefield, take inventory, and even aim accordingly in the direction of the oncoming enemy. Oh, and this “spy vehicle” wasn't concealed at all. You're listening to The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History of the Ordinary.

This past year has been one of the busiest I've ever had. I could never have imagined two years ago that starting this podcast would have brought me the most amazing listeners in the world or that they would go from listeners to the best book launch team I could have imagined. Since we're celebrating Thanksgiving in the United States this week, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how thankful I am for everything you've done for me and this podcast. From sharing the show with your friends and family, to writing such kind words and Amazon reviews for The Story Behind book, to supporting the show on Patreon, and for all those times you've shared trivia you've learned on the show or shared trivia back with me. I hope your holiday season is a happy one. And I look forward to seeing where The Story Behind goes in 2019, because you've proven that even though I write and produce the show, you are actually what makes the show great. So, thank you! I hope listeners in the United States had a lovely Thanksgiving and hopefully can have some fun conversation about today's topic while eating the leftovers.

Sorry for the delayed episode this week! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may have seen that I went to DC Podfest. And the first day I was there, I woke up with the beginnings of a cold. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of a bottle of Zicam fairly quickly and stave off the cold for a few days … until I got home. And then, it hit. This week has been a bit of a fever dream for me, but it made me start to wonder about some of the things we say when we're sick and the origins, so get ready for a bit of an etymology episode. But as long as there have been humans, humans have been getting sick, and many of these idioms carry a lot of unverifiable history with them. And, much like the cure for the common cold, the true origin stories of these phrases may never be found. You're listening to The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History of the Ordinary.

If you follow @StoryBehindPod on Instagram, you may have seen that I went to Boston last weekend for the Sound Education conference at Harvard University to be on a panel with other history podcasters that included Liz Covart from Ben Franklin's World, Patrick Wyman from Tides of History, and David Stenhouse from BackStory. I respect these podcasters greatly and it was such an honor to be in the same room as them. Because my travel schedule is pretty hectic this month, I only stayed in Boston for one day so I didn't get to experience anything outside of Harvard and the train station, but if you've ever been to Boston, you know that it seems there's history on every street. I got to hang out with Chris Nesi from The House of #EdTech podcast while I was there and he suggested I do an episode relating to Boston. Since any history regarding Boston would be a huge undertaking, I wanted to pick something a little more obscure, but still very much Boston-related. And food is always one of my favorite topics to research. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Boston Baked Beans. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

This is a very special episode of The Story Behind. Believe it or not, two years ago I pressed Publish on the first three episodes of this podcast, The Story Behind the Theremin, The Story Behind Dry Ice, and The Story Behind Sugar Skulls. This podcast was supposed to be a side-project for me. It was supposed to just take up a little of my time, so I could continue my hobby of podcasting while holding a full-time job and when I was pregnant with my son. That's what it was supposed to be. But in the two years since the show began, it took on more. It became my favorite distraction. It allowed me to geek out over things I never had a reason to learn otherwise. And it kept my brain from going to complete mush with pregnancy brain and post-partum brain. Plus, it led me to a career in podcasting and finally, it became the basis for The Story Behind book. Now, after last year's one-year and 100th episode special of The Story Behind The Musical, which was sung, I knew it would take a lot to top that for this year's episode. In fact, it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that a 100 episodes or more could ever do. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind “Africa” by Toto.

If you're a parent who has even been on Pinterest and looked for activities for your child, you've probably seen at least a dozen different recipes for modeling clay or sensory dough, as it's sometimes called. Most of the recipes are different variations on the mixture of flour, water and salt dough I remember using to make Christmas ornaments. So, one morning this week, I was searching for a recipe for my son. I spent a good 20 minutes making it, mixing in different colors, getting just the right proportions of flour to water to coconut oil so it wouldn't stick to my hands or leave a greasy mess, only to have my son pick it up, drop it on the cat, and decide he was done with it. 20 minutes of making it, only to have it covered in cat hair after a minute or so. After all that, I threw away the dough I had made and added today's topic to the shopping list partially because it was easier to keep in the house and more convenient.

If you're listening to this episode when it comes out, you may know that The Story Behind book will be released on Monday, October 15th. In the spirit of that, I'll be doing a few episodes revolving around books. This topic seemed almost too easy to cover, since the invention was something I think we all remember learning about in grammar school. But, as per usual with this podcast and the book, whenever I dig a little deeper, I always find out new information that wasn't in my history books. While those books were most likely printed using modern-day printers, there wouldn't even have been widespread use of books without today's topic in the first place. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Printing Press. I'll be releasing a separate episode with a book update, plus a sneak peek into the book's acknowledgments because I really want to thank everyone, not just in the book, but also in the podcast, so check your podcast app and the show notes for that link.

Only a few more weeks until The Story Behind book is out! And one of my podcasting mentors and buddies Dave Jackson gave me the idea to do a bunch of episodes relating to books around this time to hopefully set the mood for its release. While I was looking into different topics, I found out that the week this comes out, the week from September 23-29, 2018, is Banned Books Week, so what better time to have that as a topic. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Banned Books. Find out more about The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!

School picture time is here and every time I get my daughter ready for her picture, I try not to follow current trends too much. I have this fear she'll have the same experience I had in 1990 when my mom decided to go all out with my school picture and not only give me a big enough pinafore on my dress that it could double as a wind sail on a small boat, but she also teased my bangs and hair so much that I remember the photographer moving his camera back to get the full look. And, yes, if you follow The Story Behind on Twitter, Instagram and in the Facebook group, I'll post the picture for you all to see. I also encourage you to post some of your school photos so I don't feel as bad. But I bring up this picture for a reason. There wouldn't have been that awful picture in the world without the topic of today's episode. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Hairspray.

I honestly didn't think I would be as interested in the history of today's topic when I first started reading about it. There was a lot of chemistry involved and anyone who knew me in high school knows that was the worst subject for me. When you listen to the episode, you'll notice I kept the chemistry aspect to a minimum. But as I kept researching, what intrigued me the most was when the chemistry switched to biology and women's studies toward the end, when working conditions for those making today's subject resulted in a serious epidemic and women went on strike to protect themselves and other workers.

Okay, so I feel like I'm falling down the rabbit hole in the Matrix by saying this but… I've been wanting to do a podcast on how to launch a podcast, for like, EVER! You may have been contemplating the idea of starting a podcast for your business—or just for fun. If so, this episode is just for you. My guest, Emily Prokop, is going to take the mystery out of podcasting. Host of The Story Behind and owner of E Podcast Productions, Emily Prokop will help to make launching a podcast, super-simple. In this episode, you will learn: Why everyone is jumping on the podcast train, and if you're one of them, what are the first 3 things you need to launch one? How to overcome the fear of tech, and any mindset blocks that might hold you back Emily answers the question… Do I need to be an extrovert to be a podcaster?

I love when I find out an origin story I think I knew turns out to be either a widely believed false rumor or when I find out other people learned different origin stories. That's what this episode is about, so if you think you already know the story behind today's subject, you may be surprised to learn there are actually multiple versions.

For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer is pretty much reaching the end. And, as a parent, I'm pretty happy about that because it means my daughter is back in school. But before we start talking about Pumpkin Spice-everything and the holiday season, here's one last hurrah. And, for many like me, no summer is complete without having ridden the topic of today's episode at least once. Although, you might be surprised to learn its origins actually began as a winter recreational activity. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Roller Coasters. ---- It's less than two months until The Story Behind Book releases and I am so super excited and it still doesn't seem real yet. If you haven't pre-ordered your copy yet, you can find the book on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Now, believe it or not, there are a lot of books with “The Story Behind” in the title, so people have said searching The Story Behind with my name works well. Or, the super easy way is to go to TheStoryBehindBook.com and click the links over there. By the way, the more people order the book, the more the price will go down, and when you pre-order on Amazon, you won't be charged until the day it releases, so the more people you share this news with, the more the price will go down. And, one more thing, I was told by my publisher to let people know that if you are an Amazon Associates member, you can make an affiliate link to the book on Amazon and share the link with your audience on your blog or website to receive a little kickback when people purchase it using your link. Anyway, thank you to everyone who has been promoting the book so far. You are all amazing and it's meant the world to me that fellow podcasters and listeners have been some of my biggest supporters. This really is one of the best communities in the world. So, thank you! ---- Find out more about The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!

This episode will be told in layers. The tasty summer treat I'm talking about has three ingredients, and while they're all delicious on their own, together they are incredible. And this episode will be set up similarly, with different stories smushed together into one show. This episode has just a little mature subject matter in the first section that refers to the birds and the bees, just a heads up. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind S'mores.

Today I'm doing a collaborative show with Josh Hallmark from the podcast Our Americana, which explores unique small towns across America through the stories that impact, cultivate, and challenge community. America can feel oppressive. Every day it feels more and more like pieces of it are disappearing. That it's losing its value. But … there are monuments and mementos of the past if we just take a moment from our busy lives to take a look. Strange reminders of small victories, new life, love stories, and the strength of community. These stories are all around us, relics of station wagon days, on the highways and gravel roads that connect us all. It's easy to dismiss them as icons of capitalism; if you build it, they will come, and buy. But, there's always something more there, something deeper. I'm Josh Hallmark from Our Americana and I'm Emily Prokop and this is the story behind Roadside Attractions. **Visit OurAmericanaPodcast.com to listen to Episode 4.4: Roadside Attractions (Monuments)** Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

If you're listening to this when it comes out, you may know that next week I'm going to a huge conference for podcasters known as Podcast Movement. And I thought it only appropriate to do an episode related to this. You may be using the topic of today's episode right now and listening to this episode with it. You may have even been appalled two years ago when Apple announced it was getting rid of the jack to plug today's episode topic into on their iPhones. Nevertheless, almost everybody has a pair or two nowadays. And many, like me, may not even use them for their intended purpose, which is to listen to music or podcasts, but as a way to safeguard ourselves from talkative coworkers or overly friendly sales people.

One of my favorite things about doing this podcast is looking at things in everyday life and wondering if they still have the same purpose they did when they were invented. This week's subject is a bit ambiguous. It's most notably known for bringing a pop of color and whimsy to an otherwise drab suit, but aside from that, it's more seen as form over function. Yet it's so ubiquitous and has been around for hundreds of years, showing no signs of going out of fashion, despite many men counting down the minutes until they can loosen theirs every day.

If you've ever read Edgar Allan Poe's “The Tell-Tale Heart,” you may hear a heartbeat as something a little creepy. Although it's funny to note that on many sound machines for babies, a heartbeat is offered as a way to help them remember one of the sounds they heard in the womb. However, for doctors, the sound of a heartbeat can tell an awful lot about a person. It's one of the first things they listen to during a physical exam. It's also one of the first things an OB-GYN looks for and, later in the pregnancy, listens to for a pregnant woman. While listening to the heart isn't new in the world of medicine, one of the most common tools for doing so is only a little more than 200 years old.

Earlier this week, one of the funniest exchanges on social media came about after the company known as IHOP changed out their P, which stood for Pancakes, to a B. Initially, no one knew what the B stood for. International House of Breakfast? International House of Bacon? International House of Brunch, complete with mimosas? Nope. The B stood for Burgers, something IHOP has offered on its menu in the past, but when they finally revealed what the mystery was, they also decided to change their marketing to reflect that. And people were bittersweet about the change, including some of the other fast-food social media accounts, with Wendy's even throwing shade on their Twitter account, saying, “Can't wait to try a burger from the place that decided pancakes were too hard.” So, that gave me the idea for this week's episode. And, by the way, the change from IHOP to IHOB is only a temporary marketing campaign. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Hamburgers. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

Knock at the door One fat lady Rugby team Sweet sixteen A duck and a flea The famous street in Manhattan No, those weren't bloopers, although I'm sure this episode will have plenty. Those were actually number nicknames used in a particular game that's been around for 500 years we'll be talking about today. This isn't your granny's church basement version, either. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Bingo. The role of Edwin S. Lowe was played by Stargate Pioneer from the GonnaGeek Network, and it was watching Better Podcasting before writing this episode with him and Stephen Jondrew that inspired this topic.

If you're one of the die-hard listeners of The Story Behind who eagerly await the episode to be released at midnight Eastern time on Thursdays -- yes, Adam, I'm talking to you — you may be wondering why it's a few hours late. Usually, when an episode is late, it's because I'm either dealing with family things or taking too long editing. But not tonight. The reason is that I'm hopelessly addicted to a game on my phone called Toon Blast. And I was on a winning streak tonight so, yeah, not a very good excuse. But it did give me an idea for this week's episode. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Pong. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

As many of you know, The Story Behind is being turned into a book, which means I'm in the process right now of doing probably one of my favorite parts of making the podcast, which is doing a ton of research in preparation. This week's episode will be one of the chapters in the book, but the information and the inventor was one I found hard to keep to myself until the book came out. Even though we may curse at this week's topic sometimes, it's saved numerous lives and made driving much safer since its invention.

I've only done one other episode of The Story Behind about a song, and that was The Story Behind Imagine by John Lennon. And if you've been in the Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook, you probably would think I would be doing The Story Behind Arica by Toto. Well, not yet. Usually, I get ideas for topics from stumbling into a piece of trivia I find fascinating during the week. However, this week, my son has been not only working on walking, but working on his first words, and his favorite one lately kept getting a particular song in my head. Want a hint? “Mama” I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Help Support Livestream for the Cure! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!

This will be a different episode from normal, since I normally don't do interview shows, but I wanted to bring on Nick from the Epic Film Guys to talk a little bit about the fundraiser he and other podcasters are doing called Livestream for the Cure. Nick is one of my oldest friends in podcasting and we met each other when we were in the beginning stages of podcasting, so I know you've heard me talk about him before. He was even on the episode The Story Behind Forrest Gump (The Movie) and he's also provided me with his voice for previous shows and even a picture of his Beard for The Story Behind Beards. He's a great friend to me and supporter of the show, so I am so honored to have him as a guest on today's episode. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Livestream for the Cure.

If this is your first episode, this is a warning it'll be a little different than past episodes, but it will also be a good way to hear what this show is about. Does that make sense? Don't worry. It will. On the day I'm recording it, it is currently my birthday. It's the ninth time I am turning 27, or 35 if you want to rub it in. And one of the great things about social media is getting birthday wishes from all over the world, so, really, I've been celebrating for 36 hours. One message came from Rhett from The Wall-Fly Podcast who wished me a happy birthday and joked about The Story Behind Emily. But, since I hadn't really planned ahead for this week's episode, I thought it was a great idea, so thanks, Rhett! So, this might seem like a little bit of vanity episode, and you're more than welcome to skip it, but as I've found with podcasts I listen to, I really love learning about the host, so I hope you'll enjoy this!
