In honor of National Women’s History Month, we are celebrating Julia Child. Most people aren’t aware that she was also a professional SPY for the U.S. in WWII, for years. NO WAY! – you say. Okay … let me back up a little. Most of us think of Julia, in the early 1960’s and decades beyond, almost single-handedly, exploding ideas about the role of women in American society by writing best-selling cook books and making an extremely pop...

No one loves Christmas more than your friends at Scandal Sheet. But that doesn’t mean we can’t explore some obvious historical inconsistencies. Right? For example, why is Christmas celebrated on December 25? Only 2 of the 4 Gospels in the Christian New Testament even discuss the birth of the infant Jesus and neither mentions a date. But they do give us clues that the birthday was more lik...

No one loves our Winter religious faith traditions more than your friends at Scandal Sheet. We embrace both Christmas (yes, we insist on keeping ‘Christ’ in Christmas!).

In this comedy teaser we give you a little heads up of our coming episode. Here the M...

(In this case, I recommend you watch the video.) For the holidays, we’re getting a little less serious. So this is our first cooking show ever! Of course, we are still “Scandal Sheet” and so we aren’t going to tell you how to roast the best turkey or ham – a hundred other podcasts will tell you how to that.

“Scariest Movie Ever”? Time Magazine thought so in September of 1999. Hmmm…. Cinematic masterpiece? – or, let’s be honest – marketing masterpiece? Was it one of the greatest Tinseltown hoaxes in history? Or, brilliantly made by Alfred Hitchcock’s ghost?
