 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 15. (American) Football
    2025/09/10
    Happy American football season! Let’s talk about head trauma.Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease that’s especially common in athletes. CTE has cascading effects that can cause memory loss, aggression, and other disturbing cognitive and personality changes, and football ranks second-highest on the list of sports with the most CTE exposure. This episode will teach you more about this upsetting disease, why certain positions in football may carry a higher risk (it’s not all about concussions), and how the NFL dismissed the problem for decades while players suffered and died.

    Episode 14. Road Signs
    2025/08/27
    Since we had “too much fun” in our last episode about emus, Kate decided to bring us back down hard with an episode about a seemingly innocuous topic: Road signs. We all see road signs all the time. But have you ever wondered who makes them? Then answer is the same as for many products in the United States: Prisoners.This episode covers the history of road signs in the U.S., the history of prisons around the world, and how America’s prison system was built on forced labor from the very start. We also go into how the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution left a convenient loophole that maintained the slavery status quo and motivates the disproportionate imprisonment of Black people. Finally, we take a peek at the prison system in Finland, Norway, and Denmark to get a glimpse of how things could be different.Trigger warning: Prison and race-related trauma, violence.Follow Wyatt Cenac and stay up to date with Everything is Racist:Wyatt Cenac SubstackWyatt Cenac YouTubeWatch The Farm: Angola USA.Watch The 13thReferenceshttps://freakonomics.com/podcast/highway-signs-and-prison-labor/https://www.marketplace.org/story/2015/09/22/ever-wonder-who-makes-those-big-highway-signshttps://www.sentencingproject.org/reports/private-prisons-in-the-united-states/https://plsny.org/https://www.interstatesignways.com/post/why-us-signage-differs-from-the-rest-of-the-world&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1754862494573257&usg=AOvVaw2brh4pFwS5oavSxctQF7JLhttps://www.correctionenterprises.com/vision-mission-values/https://www.npr.org/2023/11/13/1210564359/slavery-prison-forced-labor-movement#:~:text=Five%20years%20ago%20this%20month,on%20this%20issue%20in%202024. https://www.freedomunited.org/news/nevada-ends-forced-prison-labor/#:~:text=Nevada%20has%20become%20the%20latest,true%20freedom%20from%20forced%20laborhttps://pressbooks.pub/alaskacriminallaw2022/chapter/1-5-the-purposes-of-punishment/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison#:~:text=During%20the%20Middle%20Ages%20in,on%20naval%20or%20merchant%20vesselshttps://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/secondary/SMIGRA*/Ergastulum.htmlhttps://www.google.com/books/edition/Discipline_and_Punish/6rfP0H5TSmYC?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PP5&printsec=frontcoverhttps://daily.jstor.org/the-invention-of-incarceration/https://www.aclu.org/issues/smart-justice/mass-incarcerationhttps://review.law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/03/Rushin-Edwards-73-Stan.-L.-Rev.-637.pdfhttps://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/stop_and_friskhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8389488/https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/13th-amendmenthttps://jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/origins.htm#:~:text=During%20the%20Jim%20Crow%20period%20there%20were%20separate%20hospitals%20for,place%20to%20sit%20or%20eathttps://justice.tougaloo.edu/sundown-towns/using-the-sundown-towns-database/state-map/https://innocenceproject.org/news/how-the-13th-amendment-kept-slavery-alive-perspectives-from-the-prison-where-slavery-never-ended/https://www.bop.gov/inmates/custody_and_care/work_programs.jsphttps://onlinedegrees.kent.edu/blog/how-much-do-prisoners-make-in-each-state#:~:text=agencies%20or%20nonprofits.-,1,Wages%20Can%20Be%20Taken%20Awayhttps://www.epi.org/publication/rooted-racism-prison-labor/https://naacp.org/resources/criminal-justice-fact-sheethttps://jpia.princeton.edu/news/two-roads-reform-marijuana-policy-changes-arrest-trends-and-racial-disparities-chicago-andhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/javierhasse/2021/09/07/colin-hanks-on-cannabis-and-handkerchiefs-appealing-to-everyone-from-models-to-mechanics/https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/research/projects/feminist-recovery-plan/teaching/policy-briefs/prison_labourin_the_uk_-_rebecca_cole_et_al.pdfhttps://www.prison-insider.com/en/articles/kenya-the-dehumanisation-and-exploitation-of-inmates-in-state-prisonshttps://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/posts/the-danish-prison-systemhttps://www.prisonstudies.org/sites/default/files/resources/downloads/inbrief_updateddec.2012.pdfhttps://www.reddit.com/r/AskEurope/comments/he4y5s/do_prisoners_in_your_country_get_paid_for_labor/https://www.brown.edu/news/2017-02-15/enslavementhttps://impactjustice.org/building-justice-through-humanity-how-scandinavias-prisons-changed-me/#:~:text=Open%20Prisons,spend%20time%20with%20their%20families If you know something we can ruin, send the topic and a brief hint at how it's ruined to nowitsruined@gmail.com.

    Episode 13. Emus (The Emu War)
    2025/08/13
    In this episode, we ruin (and somehow simultaneously enhance) our first animal, the emu. Larkin tells us terrifying facts about these giant dinosaur birds, then goes into the story of the “Emu War” that took place in post-WWI Australia. It’s a distinctly fun episode that will also depress you with stories of trench warfare and, as ever, colonialism.Referenceshttps://www.science.org/content/article/why-did-new-zealands-moas-go-extincthttps://www.britannica.com/animal/elephant-birdhttps://www.britannica.com/animal/moahttps://www.britannica.com/animal/emuhttps://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/emuhttps://www.awm.gov.au/articles/atwar/first-world-warhttps://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/birds/the-emu-war-of-1932https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/australian-emu-war-historyhttps://www.nma.gov.au/defining-moments/resources/soldier-settlementhttps://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/conscription/ww1https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/yeomanhttps://www.etymonline.com/word/yeomanhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/aboriginal-australianshttps://www.historyhit.com/the-great-emu-war/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Emu-Warhttps://www.nma.gov.au/defining-moments/resources/evidence-of-first-peopleshttps://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/january-26/australia-dayhttps://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/aboriginalshttps://www.aboriginalcontemporary.com.au/pages/what-is-the-dreamtime-and-dreaminghttps://www.mabonativetitle.com/info/dreamingCreatures.htmhttps://blogs.kent.ac.uk/sciencecomma/2017/05/17/emus-in-space/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/21/aboriginal-astronomy-can-teach-us-about-the-link-between-sky-and-land If you know something we can ruin, send the topic and a brief hint at how it's ruined to nowitsruined@gmail.com.
