Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time's podcast: Recent Episodes
None
A podcast of stories, all true, that seemed like a good idea at the time. A humorous History of Humanity. For a Canadian version, see Colossal Canadian Failures books 1 and 2!
This week we look at Utopias that have been attempted and failed. All seemed like a good idea at the time, but sadly, didn't work out.
This week's edition we look at perpetual motion machines and the quest for free power, including one that took place in the bush with a woodsy scientist who didn't understand the implications of friction, wood and a town full of buildings constructed of wood and wood byproducts.
We also, in a salute to the confirmation of the discovery of Richard III's remains, look at another case of a misplaced body and the odyssey of Big Mountain John.
And some shoutouts!
Historylab.ca has a new podcast: Tom Villemaire's 'Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time' is a humourous history series of things that didn't go quite right.
