The Works

Like the works of a clock where gears turn the hands marking the passing of time, our podcast talks about how our experiences and ideas make our time together fly on by. Each tiny movement of the gear and each interaction with each other is another tick. Let's spend some time together and muse on this crazy world.

  1. 2

    Potpourri

    A little bit of this and a little bit of that! Richard Hatch now owes $3.2 million in taxes since he didn't pay his taxes on his Survivor winnings 25 years ago...which was $1 million. How can this be? We have a few more rants on health cures and issues. Have you heard about Mars College? A man who loved Burning Man took old wood from structures he built there and used them in the middle of the desert to build ramshackle buildings. In these he is "teaching" and has founded Mars College. Wait until you hear the details! And, finally, we talk about our favorite social media celebrities! Join us for this verbal "Potpourri" episode of The Works.

  2. 1

    An apple a day...

    An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? What other things have our generations believed over the years? Eat a tape worm to lose weight? Lobotomies cure psychological issue? Crazy! Join us for a discussion on snake oil or real practices on this "Apple a day..." episode of The Works.https://museum.dea.gov/museum-collection/collection-spotlight/artifact/soothing-syrup https://www.history.com/articles/7-of-the-most-outrageous-medical-treatments-in-history https://blogs.loc.gov/headlinesandheroes/2022/04/10-strange-medical-practices-from-history/https://museum.dea.gov/museum-collection/collection-spotlight/artifact/soothing-syrup https://www.history.com/articles/7-of-the-most-outrageous-medical-treatments-in-history https://blogs.loc.gov/headlinesandheroes/2022/04/10-strange-medical-practices-from-history/https://museum.dea.gov/museum-collection/collection-spotlight/artifact/soothing-syrup https://www.history.com/articles/7-of-the-most-outrageous-medical-treatments-in-history https://blogs.loc.gov/headlinesandheroes/2022/04/10-strange-medical-practices-from-history/
