From the zipper to the pacemaker, peanut butter to IMAX, we\u2019re spilling the maple syrup on the who, what, and WTF of Canadian ingenuity. \ud83d\udca1 Ever heard of Reginald Fessenden? No? He invented AM radio and broadcast a violin solo from a boat on Christmas Eve. You\u2019re welcome, Spotify. \ud83c\udfc0 James Naismith invented basketball so kids wouldn\u2019t fight inside. They still did, but now it\u2019s a billion-dollar league. \ud83c\udf9e\ufe0f Canadians invented IMAX. Because regular movies weren\u2019t loud, big, or nausea-inducing enough. \ud83e\udde0 And yes, we talk about insulin, the paint roller, garbage bags, and why the Creeping Barrage isn\u2019t a bad Tinder date \u2014 it\u2019s a brilliant WWI strategy. We also dive into the Rolling Barrage, a coast-to-coast motorcycle ride raising awareness for PTSD \u2014 and clear up the confusion with that other convoy that definitely didn\u2019t invent anything useful. \ud83c\udf7b Sponsored By: Cold Garden This episode is proudly powered by Cold Garden, the dog-friendly psychedelic brew pub in Inglewood, Calgary.
