Dead Guys in History

About this original series

Welcome to Dead Guys in HIstory, a video Podcast that takes current events and explains how they wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for other important moments in our past. The show will incorporate interesting trivia to hopefully get folks understanding why knowing our past is so important. Here are the rules. 1) I'll summarize a current event. 2) I'll then give you trivia regarding an individual or group who made that event possible years before. 3) You'll guess who that individual or group was. Hint: They don't actually have to be dead. www.news-geek.com // deadguysinhistory.blip.tv

      Polaroid announced recently that the company will stop manufacturing its famous instant film at the end of the year--that's less than two weeks from now. Polaroid instant cameras have been an integral part of many Americans' childhoods, and so it seems fitting to release this video Podcast during the holiday season.
