Alright, this is just between you and me.

Are you just a little bit embarrassed to admit

that you are fascinated by the thought of aliens visiting Earth?

Did you ever wonder how the pyramids were built?

And why they appeared in ancient cultures all over the world?

Did you know most of them are part of what's called the Great Circle?

And what about the thought of time travel?

Now, could all of these things be connected?

I love this stuff. I'm Patty Steele.

Trying to explain the unexplained next on the backstory.

We're supposed to learn from our own mistakes,

but other people's errors can be instructive too.

And history is a treasure trove of mishaps and meltdowns

that can teach us all.

What happened when a zealous scientist tried to inject snow into a hurricane?

How did the world's greatest illusionist trick his audience

after he'd died?

Why did the inventor of Mother's Day try to take it all back?

And how did we get the story of the Segway bosses on timely death on a Segway?

So very wrong.

I'm Tim Halford, host of cautionary tales,

the podcast that minds the greatest fiascos of the past
