About this listen

 Thinking is hard but necessary. Our goal is to have our listeners look a little deeper into their daily lives and surroundings. To not just accept things as "this is just the way things are" but rather to become curious of "how did 'things' become this way." Look Beyond Face Value is a podcast that dives beyond the surface, exploring the origins, motivations, and stories of historical and more recent events. Why do we celebrate St. Patrick's Day? What are "Hemingways Cats"? Who was Helen Keller (after the age of ten...)? Explore mistruths that we've all been led to believe and ask who, what, when, where, and why... but mostly why. And not to take what's being reported at face value. Listen weekly as your hosts take you on an entertaining journey that you didn't even know you wanted to go on. Suggestions on episode ideas?

  • A trek through audio recording history

    A trek through audio recording history
    Jul 14 2024

    Come on a journey with us as we explore the history of audio recording. From the 1850s with the recording (without playback...) to a nonmoney-hungry fellow named Hughs, to a money-hungry fellow named Edison into the current day and Spotify's domination. When did cars start getting radios? Why did Sony invent the Walkman? Who was the first musician to have a completely digital recording?

    Step into a world beyond Bing Crosby and discover the entertaining and intriguing fun facts that pepper the history of audio recording.

    Deeper Cuts, Edison Edition
    Oct 17 2021

    We join back for season 2 and hear more about Thomas Edison than what's usually told.
    These are the stories that go beyond the man who "invited the light bulb" (spoiler alert, he didn't) and look into the questionable traits of his character.
