Always Wondered - Episode 56 Preview

In this upcoming episode, we explore the origin of the Alarm Clock.  Before it was ever invented, humans used a truly bizarre way to make sure people woke up on time!  And we’ve got all the crazy details.  Also, waving is one of humanity’s oldest customs.  But how did swatting our hand in the air become our go-to greeting?  Plus - what’s the story behind the phrase “pass the buck”?  A practice that started in Old West saloons somehow became the ultimate way to shirk responsibility!  Join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you’ve Always Wondered about.
