The comedy history podcast for people who hate boring history
Welcome to The Stupid History Minute — the one-minute comedy history podcast hosted by Keb Pound covering weird inventions, ridiculous traditions, foods, toys, everyday items, and the random stuff nobody else thinks to question.
What is The Stupid History Minute?
The Stupid History Minute is a daily one-minute comedy history podcast hosted by Keb Pound.
Every episode dives into the weird, funny, and surprisingly ridiculous history behind everyday items, inventions, foods, traditions, toys, holidays, and the random things sitting around your house that apparently have backstories.
It is real history without sounding like a textbook written by somebody named Gerald.
Why are the episodes only one minute?
Because nobody needs a three-hour podcast explaining the history of paper towels.
The goal of The Stupid History Minute is simple: make history fast, funny, weird, and binge-able.
You can listen while making coffee, sitting in traffic, hiding in the bathroom at work, or pretending to pay attention during a meeting.
