The Lesser Stories

We know some stuff.

And because we're burdened with enough useless (albeit fun) trivia to kill a horse, we demand that you learn some of it too.

The Lesser Stories began as a now-defunct podcast called Really Useful Knowledge, which was the exact same podcast but without the flash and with a name that wasn't as good. See? You're already learning some history. Our history.

TLS is hosted by these morons:

Adam Azra'el

Host, Producer

Adam is a musician, producer, writer, and avid consumer of bacon. His moderate intelligence never really manifested itself in any charming personality attributes, but he CAN recite large portions of Douglas Adams's The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy. So he's got that going for him.

Adam is a founding member of Irish punk outfit St. George's Folly and once nearly killed a bandmate onstage by accident, which is something he doesn't like to talk about.

You can find Adam on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and at any bar that doesn't have a TV on the wall. Adam also has a button, which links to his favorite cracked.com article. Go ahead.

Anthony Staten

Host

Anthony is a musician, teacher, father, and complete nerd. The Ohio native has a number of talents and hobbies, all of which seem to result in odd sideways glances from people around him. He can smell a fun historical story a mile off and he WILL. RECOUNT. THAT. STORY.

Anthony is a bassist in Irish punk outfit St. George's Folly and was once nearly killed by a bandmate onstage by accident, which is something he doesn't like to talk about.

Despite the best efforts of several world-renown scientists, nobody has been able to explain how Anthony's typical blood caffeine level hasn't either killed him or giving superpowers, but you can find him and make guesses on Twitter if you click this button.
