About YBH
You’ve Been Had is a podcast about myths, misconceptions, questionable information, and the incredible true stories hiding behind the things we all think we know.
Each episode starts with a simple question. Did George Washington really have wooden teeth? Does coffee stunt your growth? Did Marie Antoinette actually say, “Let them eat cake”?
Then we follow the evidence wherever it takes us.
And it usually takes us somewhere weird.
History. Science. Culture. Forgotten people. Bizarre advertising. Unexpected connections. And rabbit holes we definitely didn’t see coming.
Sometimes the myth is completely wrong. Sometimes there’s a little truth buried inside it. And sometimes the real story is far stranger than the one everybody remembers.
Come for the question. Stay for the rabbit hole.
Meet Your Hosts
We’re a husband-and-wife team who also happen to be lifelong educators, with over 46 years of combined experience in education.
That background is a big part of what makes You’ve Been Had what it is. We love asking questions, digging into sources, chasing down the story behind the story, and finding a way to make all of it interesting, understandable, and fun.
But this isn’t a lecture.
It’s two people sitting down together, following a question wherever it leads, laughing at the ridiculous parts, and occasionally discovering that we’ve been had too.
LISTEN. WATCH. FOLLOW.
