This is the first episode of History.icu. It's going to be a short podcast, published about every two weeks, about weird, quirky, offbeat events that are suprisingly relatable.

Today's episode is about the Defenestration of Prague, or why you should check to see if someone has closed the window before you come very far into the room.
