Episode 8: Benjamin Franklin Discovered the Sun
Episode description
Sorry, this podcast is only for people who play the trombone. This week Jeremy debates whether participating in marching band is a sport, or a feat of athleticism with some competition mixed in. There's a difference, okay? After that John examines Benny Frank's discovery of changing the clock, and how that still haunts society to this day. Apologies for any jokes made at the expense of fishermen. I'm sure you're all good people.
