June 20, 2026 - The Stories That Wouldn’t Stay Buried

Saturday, June 20th, 2026 — Today is National Vanilla Milkshake Day, and today’s stories unexpectedly became about events that refused to fade away.In this episode, we look at the Black Hole of Calcutta and the historical debate that continues centuries later… the acquittal of Lizzie Borden in one of America’s most famous murder cases… and the release of Jaws, the movie that changed Hollywood while terrifying beachgoers everywhere.Plus, the birthday of actor John Goodman, whose remarkable career has spanned generations of film and television.A lot of today’s stories ended up becoming about staying power:historical legends,unsolved mysteries,and cultural phenomena.Anyway… that’s what I ended up finding while working through June 20.
