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":"117: Did George Washington Wear Wooden Dentures?","slug":"117-did-george-washington-wear-wooden-dentures","published_at":"2026-08-19T11:10:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779/117-did-george-washington-wear-wooden-dentures","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8940458","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8940458.mp3?modified=1786986699&sid=5130139&source=rss","summary":"Join us on a perilous journey as Kristin discovers that the presidential fun facts she loves are ALL LIES. In this week’s episode, we’ll examine the myth that George Washington wore wooden dentures. As it turns out, our first president didn’t wake up every day and put wooden dentures into his big wet mouth! The real story is much more horrifying. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: “George Washington’s Dentures: Disability, Deception and the Republican Body,” by Jennifer Van Horn for Early American Studies “George Washington didn’t have wooden teeth – they were ivory,” by Colin Schultz for Smithsonian Magazine “The private life of George Washington’s slaves,” by Mary V. Thompson for Frontline “Did George Washington have wooden teeth?” by David Emery for Snopes.com “George Washington’s false teeth not wooden,” Associated Press “George Washington and teeth from enslaved people,” mountvernon.org “A history of Washington’s dental troubles,” mountvernon.org “Cherry tree myth,” mountvernon.org Are you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?
