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":"113: Floyd Collins’ Rescue Becomes a Circus (Part 3)","slug":"113-floyd-collins-rescue-becomes-a-circus-part-3","published_at":"2026-07-22T11:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779/113-floyd-collins-rescue-becomes-a-circus-part-3","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8930463","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8930463.mp3?modified=1784586352&sid=5130139&source=rss","summary":"Reporters swarmed. Crowds gathered. State officials arrived on scene. People were hungry for information about the trapped cave explorer, Floyd Collins. They wanted to rescue the man trapped 55 feet below the earth’s surface. But a collapse halted any further attempts through Sand Cave. Locals and state experts disagreed on the best path forward. And as they argued, hope dwindled. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Collins, Homer, and John Lehrberger.
