20: The War of the Hoses
You’ve heard of the Wars of the Roses—the epic struggle for England’s throne—but you probably haven’t heard the whole story (or maybe you have, how should I know?). It’s a gripping tale of power, courage, and most importantly… water hoses. So sit back and enjoy an enthralling history lesson you won’t find in the textbooks or on anything that starts with "Wiki"—either because it’s total nonsense, or because it’s so true that it had to be labeled as fiction to be believed (spoiler alert, it’s the first one).

12: If the Poets Had Used Workplace Buzzwords
A little poetry is good for the soul. But do you know what isn't good for the soul? Having to keep up with all the workplace buzzwords and phrases of corporate career culture. Love them or hate them, things like "unpack," "let's circle back," and "TL:DR," aren't going anywhere anytime soon. But what if some of the great poets of old had used those same kinds of words in thier famous works? How would one of those altered poems strike your ear? Would it be pleasant like a soft breeze on the back of your neck? Or kinda gross, like a hard sneeze — also on the back of your neck? Take a listen and find out!
