  • Episode 153: The Life, Discovery & Curse of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (aka King Tut)

    Episode 153: The Life, Discovery & Curse of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (aka King Tut)
    2025/05/26
    Before ancient Egypt captivated Hollywood and inspired Art Deco masterpieces, a forgotten boy-king named Tutankhamun lay hidden beneath desert sands for more than three millennia. This week on History For Weirdos, we explore the short but impactful life of King Tut—from ascending the throne at just eight years old to his mysterious and debated death at eighteen. We also dive into the chaotic legacy left by his father’s radical religious experiment, and how this young Pharaoh helped restore Egypt’s ancient traditions. But Tut’s story doesn’t end in the ancient past. In 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter and his patron Lord Carnarvon made a groundbreaking discovery, opening Tutankhamun’s nearly intact tomb and revealing priceless treasures that astonished the world. Yet, amid the global excitement emerged whispers of a deadly "Pharaoh’s Curse"—mysterious deaths, strange coincidences, and sensational headlines followed. Join us as we separate fact from fiction, examine recent scientific theories, and uncover how this discovery sparked “Tutmania,” transforming archaeology, global tourism, and pop culture forever. Grab your excavation gear, fellow Weirdos, and step into one of history’s greatest mysteries: the discovery and enduring fascination with Pharaoh Tutankhamun! - Get History For Weirdos merch ⁠here⁠! - Thank you for listening Weirdos!

  • Episode 152: The Absolutely Wild Life of Nellie Bly

    Episode 152: The Absolutely Wild Life of Nellie Bly
    2025/05/12
    In this episode of History For Weirdos, Stephanie take a deep dive into the life of Elizabeth Cochran Seaman, better known by her fearless pen name, Nellie Bly. Born in rural Pennsylvania in 1864, she punched her ticket out of small-town life with nothing but grit, charm, and a typewriter. We trace her journey from broke journalist pounding out articles in Pittsburgh to her bold decision to feign insanity and storm New York City’s notorious Blackwell’s Island asylum. Along the way we uncover the societal constraints she shattered just by daring to dream of a world where women could write, investigate, and shake the very foundations of big institutions. The heart of the story centers on Bly’s ten-day immersion in the asylum, where she endured starvation rations, filthy conditions, and the whims of guardians more interested in profit than people. Armed only with her wits and a small notebook, she chronicled abuses that would later spark one of the first major reforms in America’s mental health system. We break down her tactics for slipping past the front desk, her brush-ups with fellow patients and unhinged staff, and the explosive exposé that thrust her into the national spotlight. It’s a gripping reminder that good reporting can be as dramatic as any stage show. In our final act we follow Bly’s globe-circling adventure that saw her beat Phileas Fogg’s fictional record and become the first woman to travel around the world alone in 72 days, all while drawing headlines and challenging gender norms. We also explore her later life as a war correspondent covering the Spanish-American War and her surprising pivot into industrial innovation, including a steam boiler patent that saved lives. By the end you’ll see how Nellie Bly’s restless curiosity and unbreakable spirit turned every assignment into an adventure, and why her legacy still inspires journalists and weirdos alike to chase the next big story. - Get History For Weirdos merch here! - Thank you for listening Weirdos!
