Podcast: Unhinged History
Published On: Sat Aug 29 2026
Description: Welcome back to another week of unhinged stories. Angie kicks things off by sharing the origins of high school football and cheerleading. She knew how much eye-rolling Theresa would do, and did it anyway. She does, at least, mention that football started in China as a form of soccer. Then she shares the nonsensical cheers of the first cheerleaders.Theresa veers off in a wildly different direction by sharing the history of John Dee, court astrologer to Lizzie 1, or Elizabeth 1 of England for those playing at home. John Dee would lead a bizarre life after teaming up with Edward Kelly. He was convinced he found the language of the angels, but let a con man sleep with his wife, just to be sure.This story pairs well with: The Greatest Beer Run EverElizabeth BathoryVoynich ManuscriptJoin Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/UnhingedHistoryEmail us: Unhinged.HistoryPod@gmail.comHead to Social Media and be Social With Us:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@unhinged.historyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unhinged.historypodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unhingedhistoryDon’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe.
