This week, Rileigh covers the fantastical life and lasting legacy of Nikola Tesla. This titan of invention and ideas was unmatched in style and passion when he burst into the scene of New York in 1884. Tesla was a household name at the peak of his career, by his death he was all but forgotten, and now it echoes through technology and innovation once more. How would the fiery and sassy scientist feel about his legacy now? And how deeply can one man love a pigeon?

This week, we’re searching for answers in Virginia’s Outer Banks. In the season premiere of Know et al. Season Two we return with the history and mystery of what happened on the small island in the late 1580s. Eight letters carved into a post, empty houses, a fortified camp, and a looted village were all that remained when John White returned on August 18th, 1590. Were the colonists trying to send John or any others a message? Or did they meet their fate before knowing what force had befallen them?

This week, we’re headed back to where it all began. In the finale of Know et al. Season One we return to Medieval France and discuss the outrageous true history of the Sow of Falaise. How was an entire city convinced that a pig dressed as a human was deserving of an execution? What can we learn from the history of humans who lived and lost more than 600 years ago? And how does this event relate to a public service announcement from the 80s?

Season two begins July 19th!

This week, Rileigh is firing up the Know et al. tour bus to examine how LGBTQ+ Pride is celebrated around the world. From parades on water and a 100-year ban on celebrations to giant parties in the place that started it all— pride celebrations are almost as diverse as the people that attend them. Is Pride really necessary in 2023? Is there a limit to how many times Rileigh can cry in one episode?

This week, Rileigh investigates the scam of suburbia, the lawn. A 171-billion-dollar industry that’s had us in a full nelson since the Victorian period should make a little sense, right? Oh, dear, absolutely not. From contaminating water to wasting time, it’s safe to say this is not a pro-lawn podcast— not that we ever wanted to be.
