His and Hers History Podcast with hosts Aaron and Steph: Each week one of us brings a historical topic to the podcast the only catch is that the one hosting knows all the facts and the host listening knows nothing at all. By doing this we can have a light-hearted look at the past with genuine reactions and you guys can laugh along with us as we dissect and potentially ruin history.

To bare one’s bottom is seen as the highest level of comedy amongst adolescent teenagers or a group of drunken men on a buck’s night but have you ever wondered where showing your bum or mooning as it is more commonly known came from and what the purpose of this bizarre action was.
