Kristin Caruso, co-host of the true crime comedy podcast, Let’s Go To Court (16M+ downloads), and Norman Caruso, creator of the Gaming Historian YouTube channel (1M+ subscribers), team up to deliver a history podcast that is well researched, wide-ranging, and deeply silly. In other words, this is a podcast for intellectuals. Intellectuals who make fart jokes.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-17T02:21:29.265264+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779"},"episode":{"title":"111: Floyd Collins Is Trapped in a Cave (Part 1)","slug":"111-floyd-collins-is-trapped-in-a-cave-part-1","published_at":"2026-07-08T11:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779/111-floyd-collins-is-trapped-in-a-cave-part-1","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8924592","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8924592.mp3?modified=1783373168&sid=5130139&source=rss","summary":"Floyd Collins had a dream. He dreamt that one day, he’d emerge victorious in the Kentucky Cave Wars. In that era, people made easy money turning beautiful, awe-inspiring caves into tourist destinations. The tough part was *finding* the cave. Finding a cave took months of dangerous, exhausting work, but Floyd Collins was up to the task. In January of 1925, he felt certain that he was digging his way toward a magnificent one. Then he got stuck. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!
