About

Most people take everyday things for granted — but what if you could actually know the weird, surprising, and often hilarious stories behind them? I’m Keb Pound, and this is The Stupid History Minute — the most binge-able podcast in the world. One minute at a time, I break down the overlooked, the ordinary, and the absolutely ridiculous parts of everyday life. From the history of paperclips to why we say “bless you” after a sneeze, each episode delivers a fast, funny fact you’ll actually remember. Whether you're a trivia nerd, a podcast junkie, or just someone who loves learning weird stuff quickly, you’ll walk away a little smarter (and maybe a little more sarcastic). Don’t stay stupid — give me a minute. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-stupid-history-minute--4965707/support .
