Lost Woods and Found Amendments
31/05/2026 | 32 mins.
The story of the Lost 40 - an old growth forest in Minnesota that got lost for nearly a century thanks to a surveying error. We're talking lumberjacks, old growth trees, and silly mistakes.

Also, the 27th Amendment which was brought back from the dustbin of history thanks to a college student who didn't get the grade he had hoped for on an essay!
Animals Vol 3: Signalman Jack, Cacareco, and Pickles!
18/05/2026 | 17 mins.
Signalman Jack was a baboon who worked in the railway in South Africa.

Cacareco was a Black Rhino elected to political office in Brazil.

Pickles was the dog who found the missing World Cup trophy.

All of them were awesome. All of them will be in Mick's upcoming book.
Past Scent (and Other Senses)
30/04/2026 | 34 mins.
How did an extinct flower not seen since 1881 wind up being the subject of a modern day project to recreate a scent from the past? It was a long path from Dr. Charles Short in the 1860s to Dr. Christina Agapakis in the 2010s.

And it's a cool story!
Animals: Mrs. O'Leary's Cow, Vic the Cat, and Mungo the Squirrel
16/04/2026 | 16 mins.
The Second volume of Important Animals From History, from an upcoming book by Mick Sullivan.
Hidden and Lost
31/03/2026 | 34 mins.
The Amber Room was a feat of artistic ability (and a lot of money) but after WWII it has disappeared entirely. Have you seen it?

After that we learn about secret codes, the Enigma Machine, Alan Turing, Navajo Code Talkers and more!
