 Do you have an unending need to know just a little bit about everything? Maybe you're working on becoming your local brewery's trivia champion, or maybe you just have a never-ending thirst for information about the world around you. Know et al. is a weekly podcast where no topic is off the table, from the origin of the word "tampon", to the science of bog bodies and the history of chlorine. I hope to help humans become more excited about their world through knowledge and information, realizing that there is one thing that makes us all the same, curiosity. Listen weekly!Rileigh Sue World

    22 - Nikola Tesla
    Jul 26 2023

    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?

    21 - The Lost Colony of Roanoke
    Jul 19 2023

    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?

    20 - The Sow of Falaise
    Jun 21 2023

    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!
