Feb 2nd: Sometimes Crazy is Genius

DayStrider: The Time Traveler's Treat

We celebrate all kinds of fun and interesting holidays on February 2nd. Some are traditions that go back thousands of years, while others are kinda new - but all are worth making a few minutes to learn something you didn’t know before:

• You’ve heard of Groundhog Day - but why do we celebrate it?
• You’ve had tasty po-tater treats - but how did they come to be?
• It’s World Ukulele Day - learn from Kamuke all about the uke!

If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, why not learn a little more about today by listening to some fun, engaging stories. If you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (along with links to where you can find them on Amazon).
I mentioned two ways to get in touch with Kamuke, here they are (these links worked in early 2024 - not sure how long the links will be available):

• Cameron Murray’s Facebook Page
• Cameron Murray’s website

Gift ideas for folks who celebrate February 2nd for any reason:

• Groundhog Day items: the movie on DVD & funny t-shirts
• Tater Tot Day items: various cookbooks & funny t-shirts
• Ukulele Day items: Kamuke’s endorsed uke is here, but if that’s not affordable, other uke options are here. There are also lessons & fun t-shirts
• Get a warm & cozy Tom Blyth hug with his President Snow throw blanket
• Freshen up with some fancy Shakira perfume - the bottles alone are worth checking out!
• National Lampoon’s buffs may enjoy Christy Brinkley on their magazine cover

Full disclosure: If you use these gift idea links and make a purchase, I will make a small commission.

My promise: Every penny will be reinvested into this podcast to help it grow and flourish . . . or perhaps even to help spawn new podcasts (many ideas are bubblin').

Text me your favorite time travel movie!!!
