Wednesday, July 15th, 2026 — Today is National Gummi Worm Day, and today’s stories explore the unexpected things that outlived the people who created them.

In this episode, discover how an ordinary-looking stone unlocked thousands of years of Egyptian history… learn how a tiny airplane company named Pacific Aero Products eventually became Boeing… and revisit the official end of the Spanish Inquisition after more than three and a half centuries.

Plus, a birthday tribute to Rembrandt—the legendary artist whose influence lasted for centuries… even if he somehow missed becoming a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Sometimes the most enduring legacies begin in the most ordinary ways.
