History of Daylight Savings: 'Just Gimme the Light'
20:41 Share

It’s that time of year that we all hate when the sunsets at 5pm- its actually quite depressing. Every year, twice a year, most Americans switch all the clocks forward, or backward, one hour for daylight saving time (DST) beginning and ending.  BUT why do we shift time twice a year? And who came up with this? Cause I want to speak to management. 

Listen to this quick  20-minute solo solo episode. were our host answers these questions:

• Who the hell proposed DST ?
• When did Daylights saving time start?
• Why falling back might not be such a good idea? (Like duh I can think of a couple reasons off the top of my head)
• What states and countries that don’t participate in DST? And  what states are trying to be set free from it?
• What would life be like if we just got rid of the whole damn thing?- Based on research of course.

Tune in now wherever you listen to podcast. 

Where I get my info from:

• The Real Reason Why Daylight Saving Time Is a Thing)
• What Would Happen If We Got Rid of Daylight Saving Time?)
• South Carolina passed a bill to end daylight saving time. Will we still 'fall back' this year?)
