• Pirates of the Caribbean: Fact vs. Fiction

  The real Pirates of the Caribbean were far more complex—and sometimes more brutal—than the swashbuckling legends in movies. From the late 1600s to the early 1700s, this region was a hotspot for piracy, where sailors turned outlaw raided ships for gold, goods, and freedom. Figures like Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack were real people who navigated a dangerous world shaped by colonial powers, naval warfare, and trade routes. This episode separates fact from fiction, exploring the economic, political, and social realities of piracy in the Caribbean. 💵 Get a free month of Acorns Early: ⁠⁠⁠⁠acornsearly.com/bedtimehistory⁠⁠⁠ Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App

• Why Leaves Change Color: The Science of Fall

  Fall is the season when leaves turn bright shades of red, orange, and yellow before they drop to the ground. But why does this happen? During spring and summer, leaves are full of chlorophyll, the chemical that makes them green and helps trees make food from sunlight. When fall arrives and the weather gets cooler, trees slow down food-making, and the green color fades away. That’s when the other colors—reds, yellows, and oranges—appear! This video explores how weather, daylight, and leaf chemistry all work together to create the beautiful colors of fall. 💵 Get a free month of Acorns Early: ⁠⁠⁠acornsearly.com/bedtimehistory⁠⁠ Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App 📖 We published our first book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Explorer Society: World's Fair Conspiracy⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎉 Check out our new show, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bedtime Safari⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! 📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate via Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a shout-out! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📺⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠500+ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Videos⁠

• The Story of Halloween Pumpkins

  Pumpkins are one of fall’s most famous symbols—and they have a long history! Native Americans were among the first to grow pumpkins, using them for food long before they became decorations. When European settlers arrived, they learned to cook and bake with pumpkins, helping them survive tough winters. Over time, pumpkins became a fall favorite, especially at harvest festivals and Halloween. Today, people carve pumpkins into glowing jack-o’-lanterns, decorate porches, and enjoy pumpkin pie and spice. This video explores how a simple plant became a fun, colorful part of fall traditions around the world. 💵 Get a free month of Acorns Early: ⁠⁠⁠acornsearly.com/bedtimehistory⁠⁠ 📖 We published our first book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Explorer Society: World's Fair Conspiracy⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎉 Check out our new show, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bedtime Safari⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! 📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate via Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a shout-out! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📺⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠500+ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Videos⁠
