このコンテンツについて

 Hello! We're Now It's Ruined, a podcast that reveals questionable facts about everyday objects, activities, and people in the hopes that you will never be able to truly enjoy them again. Hosts Kate Bridal and Larkin Harrington answer seemingly innocent questions like "Where did hammocks come from?" and "Who invented the chainsaw?" with distinctly unpleasant facts. We talk about the dark side of things we tend to take for granted and highlight the people who are often left out of the narrative. While we are a comedy podcast, we discuss some very disturbing and violent things, so listener discretion is always advised.© 2025 Now It's Ruined 世界 社会科学

    Episode 9. Patreon Upcycle: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
    2025/06/18

    Content Warning: This episode contains detailed descriptions of a deadly building fire. Listener discretion is advised.

    Due to the unexpected passing of Kate's mom, we're upcycling our first Patreon bonus episode so we don't leave you without content for a week. More ruinous content will come your way soon, but we appreciate your understanding and support during this tough time.

    We didn't know much about this tragedy before we researched it for the show, and it was even worse than we remembered. We hope it's educational (and entertaining) for you.

    You can find pictures referenced by Kate here. Slide 3 is the floor plan of 9th floor of the Asch building.

    This is a list of the victims.

    And here's more about the elevator operator, Joseph Zito, who made as many trips as he could despite being stabbed with shears by panicked workers attempting to escape the fire. When the elevator cables snapped, Joseph was trapped at the bottom of the shaft with a broken leg, nearly drowning in water from the firehoses until he was rescued.

  • Episode 8. Allyship

    Episode 8. Allyship
    2025/06/04
    Happy Pride!!! In our first guest episode, Kate and Larkin are joined by Erica Vogel, author of the book Advice from Your Trans Aunty and the episodic Substack memoir Blue Sky Bird. Erica has spent the majority of her life solving a wide variety of trials and tribulations as both a closeted and out transgender woman. Drawing from her experiences, her education, and her interactions with thousands of transgender people, she provides a point of view focused on personal agency as a transgender individual. She is a frequent public speaker on trans affairs in and out of workplaces across the United States. She also happened to be an early supporter of the show, so when Kate and Larkin put out a call for topics, she said, “I could ruin allyship…” Now before you ask, “Why don’t you want us to be allies?!” that is not the point of this episode. Erica “ruins” allyship by discussing the bad forms of allyship some of us may be guilty of. So show up, shut up, and get ready to do the work as Erica walks Kate and Larkin through how you can take your allyship from performative to genuine. Of course, what would Now It’s Ruined be without a little history? Erica walks us through the origin of the word “boycott,” and how anti-gay laws put in place by Henry VIII were used to spread oppression and eventually caused WWII hero Alan Turing’s tragic end. Plus, you’ll never again be able to disentangle Bruce Springsteen from a very particular sexual act…We highly recommend checking out the Wheel of Privilege and Power to see where your traits land. You can also take Buzzfeed’s quiz to determine your level of privilege. It includes some questions about COVID so is a bit outdated, but it’s very thorough. Kate scored a 63/67, Erica scored a 49/67, and Larkin scored a 52.

  • Episode 7. Charles Lindbergh

    Episode 7. Charles Lindbergh
    2025/05/21
    We’re ruining our first person as Kate tells us the dirt on thrill-seeking American hero (and fan of Nazi Germany) Charles Lindbergh. It’s a story that’s all the more frustrating because it could have been so romantic! Charles’ early days sound like a thrilling fairytale, and he could have been a highly influential catalyst for positive change. Instead, Charles devolved into a stubborn, deeply problematic figure who insisted on expressing opinions that would put him at odds with President Roosevelt and tarnish the Lindbergh legacy forever. Oh, and then there’s the womanizing.We hope you (don’t) enjoy this deeply disappointing look at Lindbergh’s life and controversies.Referenceshttps://www.biography.com/history-culture/charles-lindberghhttps://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/controversieshttps://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/concentration-camps-1939-42http://www.charleslindbergh.com/ny/105.asphttps://www.biography.com/history-culture/charles-lindberghhttps://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/aviation/early#:~:text=Learning%20to%20fly,Aircraft%20Corporation%20in%20Lincoln%2C%20Nebraska. https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/transatlantic-100https://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/aviation/promotinghttps://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/aviation/annehttps://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/aviation/commercialhttps://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/lindbergh-kidnappinghttps://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1726&context=lcphttps://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object/nmah_688713https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2621292/https://www.airandspaceforces.com/PDF/MagazineArchive/Magazine%20Documents/2014/August%202014/0814lindbergh.pdfhttps://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/dachauhttps://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nuremberg-race-lawshttps://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/controversieshttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/lindbergh-fallen-hero/https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/invasion-of-poland-fall-1939#:~:text=German%20troops%20invaded%20Poland%20on,declared%20war%20on%20Nazi%20Germany.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Fordhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/05/america-first-was-not-a-pro-nazi-organisationhttps://www.cfr.org/blog/twe-remembers-charles-lindberghs-des-moines-speech#:~:text=Lindbergh%20couldn't%20have%20been,United%20Stateshttps://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/other-occupations/environmentalisthttps://www.mnhs.org/sites/default/files/-paragraphs/image/edit/cal_700x470_environmentalist.jpghttps://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/family/double-lifehttps://www.today.com/popculture/book-lindbergh-had-children-europe-wbna8088935 If you know something we can ruin, send the topic and a brief hint at how it's ruined to nowitsruined@gmail.com.
