This Day in Esoteric Political History

Jody Avirgan and Nicole Hemmer dig up the weirdest political events from history's calendar, connecting obscure historical moments to something relevant today. Political history made fun through the sheer absurdity of some of these stories. The 'esoteric' framing is accurate - this isn't the history everyone knows. This is the strange, surprising, often hilarious history that happened on this day but never made the textbooks. History as entertainment.
