This is what our episodes look like when you ask AI to summarise them

Today is OF COURSE the 391st anniversary of 🍌 bananas first being displayed in London (in the shop window of botanist Thomas Johnson. Probably from Bermuda. How he kept them looking presentable has been lost to history.) So here is a thread of my favourite banana facts 🍌
To parents struggling for a last-minute #WorldBookDay costume… when I forgot all about it last year I trampled my son’s school uniform into a muddy puddle, stuck some gel in his hair, put some lipstick freckles on him hey presto HORRID HENRY you’re welcome
We normally run repeats on Thursdays. But, since today is 29th February, we didn't have an old 'on this day' episode to re-run! Luckily, given first pick of everything that's ever happened today in history... we were able to record a goodie 🧙♀👇 🎧 podfollow.com/retrospectors/…
🎥 Cool CHAPLIN FACT I learned making @retrospectorshq today👇 When he first workshopped The Tramp, Charlie chose Fatty Arbuckle's trousers - because they looked comically large. 👖 So... in the earliest Chaplin movies, you are looking at a future silent comedy icon... ...…
On this day: Exclusively for 🌴CLUB RETROSPECTORS🌴supporters on Apple Podcasts and Patreon - Arion, Rebecca and Olly celebrate a significant day in gaming history: the debut of ‘The Sims’ on February 4th, 2000.
Couldn't help myself.
👋 Shout-out to y'all waiting in the cold at Gobbler's Knob for #GroundhogDay2024! We @retrospectorshq have a 10-min episode about the origins of the event in 1887... when the attendees ATE THE GROUNDHOG 🦫🤮👇 🎧 podfollow.com/retrospectors/…
On this day: Long before Bill Murray turned up, Gobbler's Knob, Punxsutawney hosted its first ever Groundhog Day on 2nd February, 1887 - as a day for huntsmen to eat the local rodent. In this episode we reveal just what Punxsutawney Phil gets up to for the rest of the year…
Today in history: In 1846 Theophile Gautier’s account of ‘green jam’ cannabis consumption at the drug-addled dinner parties of the ‘Club des Hachichins’ - alongside literary figures Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac - was first published in Revue des Deux Mondes.
On this day: These Are My Children premiered on NBC in 1949; the world's first televised soap opera. It lasted only four weeks on air, was broadcast live, and had a tiny budget, but influenced the production of the genre for decades. #podcast #onthisdayinhistory #dailyfacts #otd
On this day: Revolutionary leader Oliver Cromwell was executed in 1661 - despite having been dead for more than two years. Arion, Rebecca and Olly track the illustrious history of Cromwell’s head from that date forth including how it was prevented from public display.

@OllyMann @retrospectorshq I thought this was an interesting episode. How the world has changed! I'm also pleased you covered it like you did in the episode. It IS history and it can be talked about as long as one think about how.
@retrospectorshq Liz and I always listen to your podcast during breakfast and today we're listening to it on our 45th Wedding Anniversary! Keep up the great work.
@retrospectorshq @RebeccaGillie @arionmcnicoll @OllyMann Love the Blobby inclusion! It just feels right…
Genuinely a brilliant film. It’s smart, knowing, funny, embraces its premise while being fully aware of the ridiculousness of it, and fully embodies the energy of the Spice Girls and what they represented. I look forward to it being added to the Criterion Collection.
The Spice World premiere #otd in 1997 was at the peak of Cool Britannia, and included future King Charles III and their on-screen co-stars included Meat Loaf, Richard E Grant, Roger Moore, and Elton John. Discover the story behind the film on today’s (history, no really) podcast
