SENASTE AVSNITTET 🔗
Take a curious, fast-paced ride through North Carolina's strangest statutes: a five-hour cap on charity bingo (breaks and setup included), municipal codes that police who can share a hotel room and how many guests can linger after dark, and laws keeping you sober around railroad tracks — still enfo…

TIDIGARE AVSNITT 🔗
Imagine strolling through turn-of-the-century New York and being told flirting could land you a $25 fine or ten days behind bars — a 1902 statute that was rarely enforced but never repealed. We trace the dusty fine print and ask: how does a law like this survive the ages?
Along the way we bust a s…
Start with a whisper: can a dentist moonlight as a professional dancer in New Mexico? That rumor — born of an old misreading of statutes — sends our narrator on a curious fact-finding trip through the state’s legal folklore.
Along the way we chase the real stories behind three stubborn laws: the s…
Picture this: you pull up to a New Jersey station and reach for the pump—only to remember it’s been illegal for drivers to pump their own gas since 1949. What started as a safety rule has hardened into a tradition upheld by jobs, enforcement, and an almost mythic status in the state’s identity.
T…
On a moonlit New Hampshire beach you stoop to pick up a piece of seaweed—an innocent shrug of curiosity that, by a colonial quirk, makes you a criminal. That odd law, born when seaweed was black-market fertilizer, sits beside other small-town statutes that feel lifted from a period drama: bans on h…
Drive west with us as Route 66 sheds its Midwestern coat and dons mesas, neon, lava fields, petrified forests, and Mojave heat. From the glow of the Blue Swallow Motel and the countdown of the Jackrabbit signs to Meteor Crater’s lunar hole and Elmer’s Bottle Tree Ranch, this episode stitches togeth…
In a dusty Nevada town a legend lingers: a man with a mustache kissed a woman in Eureka, and the rumor goes that the town passed an ordinance to stop such smooches. The image is absurd and intimate — a single kiss sprouting a community rule — and the story follows the way folklore can outlive offic…
It is early morning in Chicago: buses hiss, coffee shops unlock, and a sign at Adams and Michigan invites us to “Begin Historic Route 66.” We cut west through traffic, suburbs and farmland, meeting enormous fiberglass spacemen, neon towers, and the ordinary people whose lives the highway carried. E…
When a mundane law book becomes a gallery of absurdities, you follow. In this episode we stroll through Nebraska’s statute pages and uncover laws that belong in a sketch comedy—whale fishing bans in a landlocked state, a relic of eugenics draped over marriage, and a traffic rule that asks drivers t…
Step into a realm where the modern symphony of connectivity fades away, and the profound silence of the cosmos takes center stage. In this episode of Time Tellers, we venture into the heart of the National Radio Quiet Zone, a place where silence isn't just golden—it's enforced. Journey with us as w…
