Season 2- I Used 2 Know starts now!

We are back!... After a 1.5 year hiatus we're back to talk about the things we Used 2 Know.  In this episode we talk about dream sequences and how they make great excuses when you need to explain shifts in a show.  We also talk a bit about how I Used 2 Know is going to change slightly from the past...

I Used 2 Know- Dangerous Toys

In this podcast episode we dive into the world of dangerous toys. 

In the early days of mass produced toys, manufacturers would design toys to open a kid's mind, maybe let them pretend to be an adult, or release their creative juices, but safety- that was one thing many of the early toys didn't really think about.  From 600 degree F toy ovens to melting lead or creating explosions- these toys could change a fun day of playing to an emergency trip to the hospital.

Journey through our list of dangerous toys- this way you too can wonder how did any kid survive the 1950s, or the 1960s, or 1970s, etc.  BTW- this episode went a little long because we had a lot of toys to cover.

I Used 2 Know- Viewmaster

This minipod episode was created because in our podcast I Used 2 Know-Pictures took Time, we discussed how the Kodak Disk film reminded us of the Viewmaster disk.  So in this episode we talk about the Viewmaster, how it helped us win World War II, how much fun we had with it as a kid, and the future of the Viewmaster.
