Underwear Chronicles Eight: Amelia Bloomer
00:15:20 | June 16th, 2022

Despite being the namesake of an article of clothing that we commonly think of as underwear, Amelia Bloomer did not invent bloomers. To further the cause of Women’s Rights and to fight for the right to vote (in addition to prohibition), Amelia Bloomer ran a newspaper called The Lily. 

Underwear Chronicles Seven: Annette Kellerman
00:17:35 | May 29th, 2022

Annette Kellerman was a swimmer from Australia who rose to stardom for her speed and grace, but also changed the world of swimsuits. She once performed in front of England’s Royal family, thanks to some clever underwear re-engineering.

Episode 67: Violet Jessop, The Effie Afton, and more Shipwrecks
00:31:14 | April 29th, 2022

Violet Jessop survived not one, not two, but three shipwrecks involving White Star Line’s incredible Olympic-class ships, including the Titanic. The Effie Afton was not so lucky. This steamboat was part of the struggle between railroads and riverboats, and she crashed into the only bridge on the Mississippi River, two weeks after it opened.

Underwear Chronicles Six: Charles Lee
00:16:58 | April 19th, 2022

Charles Lee was George Washington’s “Frenemy,” and his duplicitous behavior got him caught with his pants down.

Episode 66: Weather Wonders
00:30:08 | March 30th, 2022

Tetsuya “Ted” Fujita played an important role in understanding the impact of the atomic bombs of WWII. He brought that knowledge to America and applied it to understanding, and protecting people from, tornados. Also, Charles Hatfield was a “Rainmaker” whose stinky mix of chemicals may or may not have brought more rain to San Diego than ever before. Things did not go as planned.

Underwear Chronicles Five: Abraham Lincoln
00:16:17 | March 14th, 2022

Abraham Lincoln wore some pretty plain underwear. We know because they made a few “surprise appearances.”

Episode 65: Samuel And J.C.
00:30:41 | February 28th, 2022

The year 1913 saw the births of two incredible Black Americans. One was Samuel Wilbert Tucker, a Civil Rights pioneer and all-around incredible person. The other was James Cleveland Owens, who came to be known as Jesse. A few years before Samuel arranged for one of the first Civil Rights sit-ins in history, Jesse broke five atheletic World Records, just days after badly injuring his back in a fall down the stairs.
