Where did the saying “curiosity killed the cat” come from, and is it just a way for the rich and powerful to oppress everyone else? (Hint: yes.) Today on the show, Will and Mango take a look at curiosity’s checkered history: from the Middle Ages (when it was considered a threat to society) to the 17th century (when it became downright trendy) to today (when we can Google anything we want). Meanwhile, Producer Gabe builds his cabinet of curiosities, featuring a few objects that spark his interest — including: 1. Perceptor the Autobot Microscope (Hasbro, 1985) 2. Automat Coffee Can (Horn & Hardart, 1964) 3. Succulent Terrarium (Mini Brands, 2024) 4. Transparent Acrylic Music Box — “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” (Berkeley Designs, 1978) 5. Shakoki Dogu Replica (The Table Museum, 2023) 6. Walking Robot Pencil Sharpener (Kikkerland, 2000) 7. Toonerville Trolley (Fox, 1922) 8. Buck Rogers Battlecruiser (Tootsietoy, 1937) 9. Kinder Surprise Soapstone Carving (Ferrero, 1995) 10. Changeable Charlie Blocks (Gaston Manufacturing, 1948) 11. Red Wooden Dice (Unknown, 1940s~) 12. Miniature Cabinet of Curiosities (Re-Ment, 2018) After you listen to today’s episode, drop three things you’d put in your cabinet of curiosities below for a chance to win a Part-Time Genius prize pack!
