Episodes

  1. Whiskey

    Richard joins with our guest of suspect soberness (who also happens to be a religious historian): Edward Standish. They look at how a fued between Catholicism and Protestantism on the doctrine surrounding Satan led a warrior turned pacifist to invent the infamous drink of whiskey.

  2. Shorts: The Burrito

    Richard joins with new guest Dallin Baxter to briefly discuss the Forigins of the burrito. Within this story, Scary Larry finds that inspiration can be found even in the darkest of times.

  3. Swords

    Locks, keys, rare worm collections, the Aztec empire. How did all of these components contribute to the Forigin of the sword? Join Richard Loverman and sword expert, Adam Perez, as they explore the story.

  4. Shorts: The Fedora

    Richard and James explore the Forigins of (what rightfully should be) everyone's favorite hat: the fedora. Listen for a thrilling story of spies, war, and fashion.

  5. Jazz

    We are back with an episode on the Forigins of Jazz! Donny Mills comes on the show to share a story about how his great-grandfather, with the power of magic and serendipity, created (arguably) the greatest music genre of all times.

  6. Shorts: The Backpack

    In another short, James and Richard explore the Forigins of the beloved backpack, and how it began with a slightly unethical fashion trend and an honest mistake by a wannabe tailor.

  9. Shorts: The Fortune Cookie

    Richard Loverman joins forces with James Laramie to bring you Forigins Shorts. These episodes quickly share an engaging story of a Forigin, without taking too much time from your day. Today they discuss how the fortune cookie started with a shy woman working at a Chinese restaurant.

  10. Genghis Khan

    Richard and a guitar expert, Stanley, explore the little-known story about how Genghis Khan's conquest of Mongolia began with a desire to play the guitar.

  11. The Movie Camera

    In this episode, Richard has asked history professors Jaque Demoux and Steve Billiard to host for him while he is gone. Podcasting might not be their forte, but they sure have fun talking about how a skateboard contest and Benjamin Franklin brought about moving pictures.

  12. The Lollipop

    Richard interviews 87-year-old Rochester Arelston about his run in with a high class criminal, and how that led to the invention of the lollipop.
