June 6 - The Things We Build to Go Places

from Wait, That's Random: This Day in History · host C.L. Berns

Saturday, June 6th, 2026 — Today is National Yo-Yo Day, which somehow turned into an episode about movement, exploration, and figuring out where we fit.Today’s episode looks at the opening of Chicago's famous elevated railway... the first Little League baseball game... and a near-Earth asteroid that reminded humanity we're all riding through space together.Plus, the birthday of Robert Englund, the actor who brought one of horror's most famous characters to life.A lot of today's stories ended up becoming about navigation:through cities,through communities,and through the universe itself.Anyway… that was today's strange little walk through history.
