Sunday, June 7th, 2026 — Today is National VCR Day, which somehow turned into an episode about attention, curiosity, and the stories people can’t let go of.

Today’s episode looks at *The $64,000 Question*, the quiz show that captivated America… Sony introducing the Betamax recorder and changing how people watched television… and the enduring mystery of D.B. Cooper, a man who vanished into history and never quite left it.

Plus, the birthday of Dean Martin, whose effortless charm helped define an era of entertainment.

A lot of today’s stories ended up becoming about fascination:

the things people watch,

the things they remember,

and the mysteries they keep trying to solve.

Anyway… that was the strange collection of human curiosity June 7 left behind.
