DDH- Happy Boskin Day!
from Plausibly Live - The Dave Bowman Show Podcast Hosted by Dave Bowman
April 1st isn't just for pranksters—it's for historians with a wicked sense of humor. In this episode, Dave peels back the glittery nonsense of April Fools’ Day to uncover its shadowy (and often fictional) past. From Chaucer’s chicken to a Flemish prank poem, and the legendary hoax that duped the Associated Press, it all leads to one irresistible conclusion: we should be calling it Boskin Day. Tune in for history, hilarity, and a few paper fish stuck to your back. Trust nothing. Laugh anyway.
