History & Factoids About Today Podcast: Fast-Paced Daily Fun

 about all the interesting and historical events of that day, birthdays, national days, fun facts, and trivia. Producing a podcast every day is the Mount Everest of podcasting. A terrific show like Arielle & Ned's Daily Tips... also accomplishes that Herculean task, yet episodes are about two minutes in length. On  

The creator/host of all this podcasting energy is Jeff Stampka. Jeff's company, Coool Media (Yes, there's an extra o) produces The Running Wine Mom. Clearly, Jeff is an enterprising and entrepreneurial indie podcaster. 

Jeff explains: " about what happened on that day in history, whose birthday it is, what the national days are, just fun. We have decided to use it to promote other podcasters, writers, entertainers, small businesses, foundations, non-profits, and basically anyone who could use a little word of mouth."

That's admirable that one of Jeff's podcasts is a vehicle for others to promote their enterprise. 

The show itself is upbeat, fast-paced, and full of interesting information. Jeff Stampka, who usually has a guest co-host, has a machine-gun style delivery, full of enthusiasm and fun facts. This is not the calm, professorial pacing of an NPR show! Jeff hits the air waves running, and never slows down. It's invigorating.

For example, did you know that November 25th is National Play With Dad Day? I didn't. I wonder if there is a National Pull Dad's Finger Day?

Here's a typical episode topic guide -- November 22, 2025 -- National Espresso Day, entertainment from 1955, prescribing beer for medicinal purposes now illegal, WW2 food rationing ended, Jukebox debuts. Then there's today's birthdays - Franklin Pierce, Boris Karloff, Betty Everett, Bruce Hornsby, and Miley Cyrus.

This show is perfect for a commute, whether by vehicle, mass transit, walking or biking. It's short, energizing, and you can impress your co-workers with some knowledge. After all, who knew that November 2nd is National Devilled Eggs Day? Also, two presidents had that day as their birthday -- James Polk (a good one) and Warren G. Harding (the worst up till now). 


The creator/host Jeff Stampka should do a productivity podcast because he's like the Road Runner of indie podcasters. Besides his podcasts, his podcast network, and his consulting company, Jeff runs
