Cooking With Grief is the comedy podcast that covers everything from history to science, pop culture to geography, and everything in between. For this week (and going forward) the two hosts brought two topics they want to share with the other, in an internet show and tell. In  Episode 60 we learn about how ant colonies have special undertaker ants who bury dead ants (and how to trick them into burying live ants), and how Frederick The Great of Prussia used reverse psychology to trick Germans into liking potatoes!If you enjoyed the show, and even if you didn't, please leave a review, and follow us on Twitter at CookinWithGrief !★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

LXI. Cogito Ergo Sum... Scared of Spiders

LX. Eggs! For or Against?

Cooking With Grief is the comedy podcast that covers everything from history to science, pop culture to geography, and everything in between. For this week (and going forward) the two hosts brought two topics they want to share with the other, in an internet show and tell. In  Episode 59 we learn about Carlos Kaiser (a Brazilian footballer who couldn't play football yet still managed to con his way through the league for decades), and the somewhat horrifying origins of the "babies delivered by storks" myth.If you enjoyed the show, and even if you didn't, please leave a review, and follow us on Twitter at CookinWithGrief !★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

LIX. The Brazilian Job

Cooking With Grief is the comedy podcast that covers everything from history to science, pop culture to geography, and everything in between. For this week (and going forward) the two hosts brought two topics they want to share with the other, in an internet show and tell. Episode 58 finds us learning about a World War 2 themed table top game that takes 20 years to play, and a Mesoamerican precursor to the Aztecs who lived in one of the most equal societies of any civilisation in history.If you enjoyed the show, and even if you didn't, please leave a review, and follow us on Twitter at CookinWithGrief !★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

LVIII. Apocalypto Now

Join us as we learn about the Call of The Void, the mundane uses of real life Iron Man suits, the many and varied (and often ridiculous) reasons people were made saints, and Norilsk - the most frozen toxic town in the world.

LVII. Today's Pervert, Tomorrow's Saint

This episode was recorded in front of a live studio audience (for charity- check out our YouTube channel for more info), but that didn't stop us learning about Dracula's Irish inspiration, NASCAR's answer to DB Cooper, medieval barber-surgeons and the Rosenhan Experiment (could you prove your sanity?)!

LVI. F*ck It - We'll Do It Live!

All the way from Australia, we're joined by stand up comedian Matt Harvey for a look at some mind-blowing facts - the platypus is somehow even stranger than it looks, Ancient Greece didn't mess about when it came to "cancel culture", the British Empire exiled criminals to Australia for the most petty of reasons, and if you want to hunt Bigfoot then you better buy a license.

LV. How Do You Milk a Platypus? (with special guest Matt Harvey)

We're joined by Henry of The FireStarters Podcast as we learn about the origins of "women and children first", the poop economy of Edo-era Japan, the man who pioneered the ejector seat safety standards (by testing it on himself), and radioactive seagulls.

LIV. History - It's Just Racist And Smelly (with special guest Henry)

Join us for a Valentine's Day special, with Courtney from the Bodice Tipplers podcast, as we learn the potted history of romance!

LIII. Love and Other Shrugs (With Special Guest Courtney)

Welcome to 2021, or as we discover this week - perhaps it's actually 1724! We also learn about a real life attempt at Jurassic Park, the murky reasons Victorian women could be committed to insane asylums, and hear tales of the Falklands War's biggest madlad.

LII. Ah, Dinosaur! Do-you-think-he-saw-us? Of Course Not, Podcasting Is An Audio Medium!

Join us for another humourous look at weird and wonderful facts - this time we learn about William The Marshal ("the greatest knight in the world"), an octopus that throws its penis, ants that are covered in teeth, and a prank call from the moon that fooled Nixon!

LI. Let's Get Cosmonaughty!

Episode 50 is here - the L we can be proud of! We share some new facts about a restaurant's rather unfortunate attempt to encourage healthy eating, as well a navel gazing look back at the past in celebration of our milestone with questions from a Twitter AMA, and the return of Place to Nosh or Not a Place!

L. The Void of Narcissus

A special bonus episode for you - the leftovers from the cutting room floor. Brand new never before heard facts and funny bits that got cut for time from previous episodes but now see the light of day. The director's cut, if you will. Enjoy!

Offal, offcuts and juicy leftovers

How many monkeys does it take to write Shakespeare? More than 6, apparently. We also learn of the godmother of Rock'n'Roll, who owns the moon, and the philosophy of pessimism. Brought to you by MyBookie - use promo code GRIEF to double your deposit!

XLIX. Is This A Monkey Flinging Faeces That I See Before Me?

Greetings, join us on another adventure to learn about the Japanese phenomenon involving bookshops and toilets, the reason behind ridiculous rock star riders, a self taught Indian maths genius, and history's most disgusting footwear.

XLVIII. This Episode Is Brought To You by The Number 2

An irreverent look at science, history, art and just about everything we can find - join us for an internet "show and tell" as we discuss and dissect the random facts we've found floating around the web. And Kurt Russell.
