Hello everyone and welcome to I Can't Believe that Happened, a short history podcast for kids and curious adults.. Thank you so much for your patience. I know that was a really long break and I am sorry but I think that your patience is going to be worth it because I have been researching for a new season and that is going to be the history of robots. I am so excited about this. I hope you are too. I was thinking, the history of robots we'd be going back to the 1950s and back to the Jetsons and if any of you were too young for the Jetsons see if you can head over to YouTube and find it. I hope you love Rosie as much as I did when I was a kid. We are actually going to be heading back to ancient Greece, and I know when you think ancient Greece, you are not thinking robots. That's what makes this so cool and I promise you there were robots in ancient Greece, and we have a lot of historical records to prove that. It's really cool. I cannot wait to introduce you. We're going to be doing this in segments because this is a massive topic. I had no idea how big it was until I started to research. The first thing we are going to do is to look at the mythology of robots, and I know it's a history podcast we work in facts. However, I think it is important to also understand where these facts came from and mythology like science fiction, like fairy tales is a way that we can dream about what doesn't exist yet. And it is really interesting to see what people dreamed of before they actually became a thing. So we will start with the ancient mythology of robots and then we will be going to go into the ancient world of Greece to meet the actual first robots. After we will head over to medieval turkey to meet an incredible engineer , artist, and creative person who created some of the most beautiful and amazing and intricate automaton robots. I cannot wait for you to see the elephant clock. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen and when we say medieval it's really interesting because we don't usually think a beautiful intricate clever witty funny things, but this is absolutely unreal. If you go over to our website and you go look at the show notes or you go to or YouTube channel you'll get to see I'm going to post as many of these automaton robot videos as I can. Some of these automaton robots still exist, some of them have been built using the engineers notes and of those are stunning. From the medieval world, we're gonna start moving into the courts the Royal Courts where engineers were patronized by the Royals and created some amazing things. So get ready to meet Leonardo da Vinci's working full-size knight. You will meet some very cool people one of my favorites were going to meet someone who invented roller skates. Also, by the way, and helped stylize a system that really changed how things went from just one or two movements. To something that almost felt like alive. It's really cool. You'll get to meet all of these people and then we're going to move into the late 1800s and the early 1900s where automatons and robots became part of advertising. They were in carnivals and boardwalks. They were also something that were sold often as dolls, so if you think about something that's more rudimentary like a music box you opened up and the ballerina spins, that's a very basic automaton, but some of these toys and the late 1800s. Were unreal and amazing what they could do. So we'll get to meet them and then we're going to go up to the present day because you're going to see how even something that was invented as far back as the medieval era still influences our design today and how even NASA engineers look backwards to create things like the Mars Rover. So, I hope you join us this is going to be a full year. I am only about three quarters or so I done with my research right now and I'm going to be making some books. I hope you enjoyed. Those and you can always buy them and go over to www.owlandtwine.com website and that's where everything from this podcasts to all of my illustrations, story telling games, and books that I have written and illustrated live. Please go to the show notes by going to I Can’t Believe That Happened where I'll be posting and collecting as many of these videos as I can find so you can actually see these automaton robots in action. It is really amazing and cool. I hope you subscribed to the Podcast that would be really kind of you and if you have a few minutes and you'd like to do something very kind for the podcast. I just run this on my own. I have not gotten advertisers yet, so it's really wonderful that you guys share this I would not have the Reach that I have It's amazing and humbling to see other countries and the reach that this podcast just had That's all thanks to you guys sharing and to your Facebook groups to your friends your family your teachers, that's been amazing. Thank you so much. So if you have a few minutes anyone do something kind hit subscribe and share these episodes. I really appreciate it. There's one other thing. I really want to try this here and it's gonna be a complete experiment. So bear with me and see if this works out, but I wanted to play a game with everyone and I hope you're interested in trying this. Every episode I am going to have one wrong Fact in the episode And what I'm hoping is that you guys will actually start researching some of the things I'm saying. And if you find that one wrong fact before the next episode comes out. I hope you'll go over to owl and twine.com and send me a message and let me know which fact I got wrong and what the real fact is. So let me know what kind of prices you would like for that. I was thinking I would give your name out as a shout out on the next episode or we could even talk about maybe downloading some of the books that I have. I've written a bunch of kids in illustrate kids books. Let me know. And had a www.owlandtwine.com and send me a little note and let me know what you think and what you would like to have done the most. I hope you enjoy this new game. I'm very curious to see how it will go. Have a great week everyone come back next week. I will be talking to you about pretty much the world's first major robot security systems, so we're gonna meet Talos who was the robot security system for the ancient island of Crete, I'll see you all next week. Thank you so much and hit subscribe if you can. Take care. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's our final episode, and the gang is all here. Beth, Elizabeth and Kelly join up for one last time to talk about all they've learned in the three plus years since I Can't Believe it's Not News began.  Join us as we talk about our journey and how you can keep fighting fake news. 

This is technically Part 3 with Rich Gibson, the newly elected State's Attorney for Howard County. Rich came in for an earlier recording session which had recording audio difficulties but we were able to salvage this from the archives.  It is arguably our funniest episode yet!!!! Rich has a long career as a prosecutor.  He started out in Prince George's County and then spent 12 years in the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office handling murders, shootings, and major investigations before being elected to the top job in his home county.  He has a ton of experience and will bring that experience and knowledge to his new job in Howard County. This week we're sampling Wigle's Ginever Gin in a Gin Rickey. Here is some information on Ginever Gin (short version, it's a whiskey based gin, distilled in a copper pot, not a vodka based gin like common gin's). Top topics include a deep discussion into the life of an elected politician and how Rich's new job differs from what his expectations were.  Plus what his plans are for the Howard County SAO. This week the guy's discuss: Prosecutors v. Defense attorney v. Civil attorney, what your experience is defines your view of a case I Can't Believe it's not Baltimore: Zookeeper sells tigers and hires a hitman to kill his rival. NYC's Nunchuck ban is unconstitutional, Karate-men rejoice. NASA may only have Female astronauts on their mission to Mars to avoid, um...complications.  Can they do this and is this valid under the EEOC...and practically will it stop the problem? Drink review From Wigle's website: Awarded 2018 Best Gin in the Country by the American Craft Spirit Association. Inspired by a 19th century Pennsylvanian distiller’s recipe, Wigle’s Organic Gin brings back a lost gem of distillation. For the first 600 years of its existence, gin was made from a whiskey base in a copper pot still. This Genever or Dutch-style gin became less popular after the invention of the modern industrial still.  Vodka based gins dominate liquor store shelves today. With a grain mash of rye, wheat, malted barley, and a complex family of botanicals, Ginever is rounder and fuller than modern gins. Juniper berries remain forefront but are joined by a number of other botanicals including earthy cardamom, peppery cubeb and fragrant lavender create a layered flavor experience. As with all Wigle products, this handcrafted spirit is made from scratch in our copper pot still in very small batches, using only organic ingredients and local heirloom grains. It’s perfect for whiskey and gin lovers alike. Lawyers on the Rocks features Jeremy Eldridge, Kurt Nachtman and Adam Crandell. This triumvirate of lawyers will give you their unsolicited opinion on everything legal and illegal, while enjoying a handcrafted cocktail. Lawyers on the Rocks is sponsored by the Law Office of Eldridge, Nachtman & Crandell, LLC and produced by Up Next Creative, LLC.

After a quick joke transition, Goofus and Gallant come to visit the hangout with a special song about their adventures at camp. Next up, a kid sends in a burning science question and Tim and Juanita know just the Guy...and Mindy who have the answer. They throw to the MySci with Mindy and Guy segment where the hosts from popular science podcast Wow in the World answer this wow-worthy science question.

Bruce stays on with the guys for a second episode.  Bruce is still sipping on the excellent Cooper's Coffee and the guys sample "The Godfather" in honor of having Bruce on the show.  The Godfather a.k.a. The Bruce White is a simple whiskey cocktail originated in the 1970's with the popularity of the Marlon Brando and Al Pacino characters in the movie The Godfather.  It consists of: 2 oz. of Bourbon or Scotch whiskey 1/2 oz. of Amaretto On the rocks and stirred This drink was sampled with Bourbon, but it probably would go best with a Scotch or maybe a Rye, due to the sweetness of the Amaretto. The bourbon and Amaretto really made for a surprisingly sweet drink, which would be better balanced by something less sweet.  Overall the drink was rated as a surprise "excellent" and something that might be a good change of gears from an Old Fashioned. On this episode Kurt finally stumps Jeremy and Adam in this week's "I Can't Believe it's not Baltimore: Men arrested in pumpkin-powered crime spree in Oregon, causing $30,000 in damage. Cardi B's Dermal implants have gone bad.  Can she sue?  What legal remedies do people have? Revenge Porn and Sextortion are not going away.  How to fight it?  Read here for more. There was a tragic stabbing of a woman who was providing a panhandler money in the rain last week here in Baltimore.  Squeege kids are out of control and panhandling is outrageously dangers.  The guys dive deep into the topic with Bruce and try to get to some sort of solution and compromise. Read more about this tragic story here, here and here. Bruce's company is called One Promise Recovery Housing.  You can read a City Paper article about Bruce here.   Lawyers on the Rocks features Jeremy Eldridge, Kurt Nachtmanand Adam Crandell.

Welcome to this weeks I Can't Believe that Happened your history podcast for kids or curious grownups so I thought that we would start today with the more unusual circus act and unusual is just because it wasn't traditionally what you would think of when you're thinking of a circus act there were no elephants but that that doesn't make this woman any less impressive her name was Annie Oakley and she was born in 1860 and things did not start out easy for her.Annie was born in Ohio and her father died when she was really young and she sent off to a farm when she with ten. Annie was treated really badly by the people who are taking care of her and she ran away and found her mother so she supported her family by going out and hunting and shooting game in the woods and selling the meat to a shopkeeper and she was an amazing shot. She was fantastic with a gun and her skills actually paid off the mortgage on her mother's house and she would enter shooting matches and toured as a champion.This is part of her story is problematic for me I have I have a teenager and I have children. Annie went into a match and shot against a champion name Butler and At 15 she beat him in the competition and he fell in love with her and they got married the next year. I was struggling on whether I should include that part of this or not but it is part of history and that is what happened I don't feel terribly comfortable with that part of her story but history very rarely makes me comfortable.Around 1882 is when Annie took the name Oakley and she join the vaudeville circuit which was known to be kind of a very low brow sort of entertainment but she really distinguished herself because she insisted on wearing more conservative costumes and at what are the events in St. Paul Minnesota and 1884 she attracted the attention of Sitting Bull who gave her the name t I am so sorry I am horrible pronunciation but translates to little sure shot and she rose through the show business ranks and joined the Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Circus and 1885 where she stayed for 17 years.We think of circus is as kind like a cool thing this show was so important and so exciting and it helped her become an absolute legend but she was also I will see you the whole United States and the world Annie Oakley with the Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show with even taken to London in 1887 where she got to meet Queen Victoria who called her "a very clever a little girl." and she absolutely was the British invasion in reverse. Annie Oakley was all over the British papers.Annie did leave the Wild West show for a few years because she had a real issue with a fellow sharpshooter at Lilian Smith and things got so bad that Oakley departed and left the show at the end of the London engagement and she returned to the stage and she also toured with a different wild West show. When Smith left the Buffalo Bill's show Annie rejoined them for another three-year tour of Europe that began in 1889 at the Paris Exposition.You might remember at the beginning of this that Annie Oakley began life incredibly poor and had a very difficult childhood and she was known for being so against spending money that she would actually siphon off lemonade and carry it back to her own tent. She's known for saying things like" I've made a good deal of money and my time but I never believed in wasting a dollar of it." She was an incredible person for giving to charities they gave money to orphans and she was really fantastic she did earn more money than any performer in the show except for Cody.Annie Oakley was actually known for doing things like shooting the cigarette out of her partner's mouth she is unparalleled in her marksmanship definitely worth a look over and amazing person.Sometimes you might hear things about the newspapers and telling stories got it back in the early 1900s there was very little that stopped news reporters from saying whatever they really wanted to and I'm sure that's gonna be another episode to you because there's a lot of talk about that now. In 1910 a very famous newspaperman called William Randolph Hearst published a fake article claiming that she was in jail for stealing. This hurt Annie tremendously because her highest ambition was to be considered a lady and she did file a lawsuit against the newspaper for liable.In 1913 she decides to retire and with her husband Butler that the man she had been married to for a very long time and they set up in Maryland and North Carolina. She would give hunting and shooting lessons to other women and performed at charity events. Entering into World War I Annie offered to raise up a group of amazing female sharpshooters but the government ignored her so instead she raise money for the Red Cross and by giving shooting demonstrations at army camps and all around the country. Annie died November 3, 1926, and I and her husband who she's been married to for 50 years passed away 18 days later. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Packaged Foods Exposed series takes a look at the largest food manufacturers in the world. What products fall under their banners; how has their influence shaped economic policy, society and culture; how have they affected the environments they operate in; and what relationships do they foster within the countries they are located? This series places corporations in a critical light, hoping to provide a more balanced image to the advertising and PR campaigns launched by some of the most influential food corporations on the planet. In this fourth episode of the Packaged Foods Exposed series, we take a look at one of the largest consumer products companies in the world - Unilever. With such a significant influence on agriculture, food and health here in Canada and around the world, this focus on the company will be spread out over a two-part series. Part I On Part I of the Unilever series, we explore one product that the company maintains considerable control over in Canada - margarine, in particular their Becel, Imperial, Blue Bonnet and I Can't Believe it's not Butter brands. Margarine may very well, by the end of the year, spark the first ever interprovincial retaliatory trade war since the Agreement on Internal Trade was first signed by the provinces in 1994. How could a tub of margarine be so powerful you may ask? The province of Quebec is the last place in the world that maintains a margarine colouration ban, that is a ban that prohibits margarine to be coloured yellow like butter. Such a ban infuriates a company like Unilever who now must produce two different products, one for Quebec and one for the rest of Canada. But margarine isn't new to conflict in Canada and the United States. In fact the history of margarine is probably one of the most fascinating windows into the evolution of our food system over the past 100 years... "The evolution of this problem is closely related to historical shifts from agriculture to industrial order" - Richard Ball / Robert Lilly "[Margarine is] another sign of the artificiality of modern life." - Mark Twain With such significant statements, margarine does indeed seem like a product worth deconstructing given how accepted margarine has become as part of the Canadian diet. Also on the broadcast will be an update on our complaint filed with Advertising Standards Canada following the April 12, 2007 broadcast on Kraft Foods. Guests Sean McPhee - President, Vegetable Oil Industry of Canada (VOIC) (Toronto, ON) - An industry group representing 75,000 oilseed growers across Canada, oilseed processors and suppliers of fats and oils to the food industry, and makers of oilseed-based food products, such as margarine, cooking oil, salad dressing, mayonnaise and dessert toppings. Members include the Canadian Canola Growers Association, the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association, Archer Daniel Midland Agri-Industries Ltd., Bunge Canada, Canbra Foods, Cargill Limited, AarhusKarlshamn US and Canada, Loders Croklaan, Unilever Canada and Rich Products Corporation. Therese Beaulieu - Assistant Director, Communication and Policy, Dairy Farmers of Canada (Ottawa, ON) - A national policy, lobbying and promotional organization representing Canada’s 16,000 dairy farms. DFC strives to create favourable conditions for the Canadian dairy industry, today and in the future. It works to maintain policies that foster the viability of Canadian dairy producers and promote dairy products and their health benefits. Audio Clips "Housewives Save With Margarine" - CBC News Roundup (1948) - Broadcast on December 14, 1948 shortly following the legalization of margarine in Canada. Host: Bill Reid. Reporters: Warren Baldwin, Dave Price. Interviewer: Bill Beatty. Guest: Erle Kitchen.
