Ever wonder why the world is the way it is? Like, thousands of years of humanity and THIS is the version of the world we came up with. *This* one? Same. Each Wednesday, #NotPastIt's @simonepolanen will pick a moment from that very same week in history — yes, it's a history show, but it's not like a boring history show — and trace the ripple effects of how that story shaped our world in unexpected ways. So far we've talked about Dock Ellis' LSD no-hitter, why we don't have an AIDS vaccine yet, the...alternative uses of cornflakes, and The Paris Hilton Tape.
