    Groundhog Day

    Groundhog Day

    Okay, campers, rise and shine and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cold out there today!

    No, you’re not stuck in a loop, unless you’ve already listened to this episode before. But today’s episode is all about a seemingly silly holiday that has a fascinating history behind it and a 1993 movie that probably helped it become most likely permanently attached to Bill Murray.

    You’re listening to The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History of the Ordinary. I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Groundhog Day.

    I love when I find out an origin story I think I knew turns out to be either a widely believed false rumor or when I find out other people learned different origin stories. That’s what this episode is about, so if you think you already know the story behind today’s subject, you may be surprised to learn there are actually multiple versions.

    I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Teddy Bear.

    Episode 324 - Just Weird Dogs f/ Andy Hirsch
    America's number one draw-draw boy Andy Hirsch saddles up to talk with us this week about his new graphic novel, Varmints! Of course, before we get to that, we absolutely must talk with him about his work on one of our many fascinations, Garfield. Then we chat about doing musical sequences in comics, Westerns in other genres, the serious newspaper comics, drawing horses and so much more! Plus, we take an intriguing listener question!
