Synopsis

From the trivia-darling podcast of the same name, springs a book guaranteed to satisfy even the hungriest brain, with science (why does mint feel cold?), history (King Charles II of Spain was so inbred, his family didn't bother educating him), medicine (two doctors tested cocaine as an anesthetic by injecting it into their spines), music (many hit songs, and even whole albums, were written for revenge), technology (the first video game, Tennis for Two, was created on an oscilloscope in 1958), art (restorers destroyed a DaVinci sketch by putting it in water and alcohol), and more.

Emily Prokop graduated from Southern Connecticut State University with a degree in journalism and has worked in newspapers, magazines, and even as a puzzle editor, but always loved picking up random trivia and sharing it with her not-quite-as-enthused friends and coworkers. Luckily, she was able to combine her passions for trivia and podcasting when she created The Story Behind podcast in 2016 and wrote a book based on it in 2018. She lives in Connecticut with her husband, two kids, and two cats.
