Apr 21st: People, Places & Things

DayStrider: The Time Traveler's Treat

Celebrating a birthday on April 21st makes you rather special. The people, places and things all born on this day are quite remarkable - you should make time to check them out:

• Places: One of the oldest cities in the world was founded today
• Things: Mobile gaming was catapulted into existence on this day
• People: The longest reigning female monarch of all-time was born today

If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, why not learn a little more about today by listening to some fun, engaging stories. If you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (along with links to where you can find them on Amazon).
Today’s guest, Valerie Probstfeld, is a blogger, podcaster and soon-to-be-author. The link to her site and show can be found here (these links worked in early 2024 - not sure how long the links will be available):

Gift ideas for folks who celebrate April 21st for any reason:

• Remus & Romulus and Rome: You can get a Remus & Romulus statue or necklace charm. There’s a great 3D model of the Pantheon, and for your readers: books about Rome including the complete works of Livy!
• If flashbacks of the Gameboy inspired you, there are retro gameboy devices, t-shirts and other Gameboy and Nintendo decor.
• Queen Elizabeth loved her tea time, and her fancy hats. Your readers can learn more about her and your collectors can enjoy uncirculated money.
• To celebrate Iggy Pop’s birthday, there’s books and CD’s.
• To celebrate Chocolate Covered Cashews Day, there are many options.
