Sunday Speaker Series — An Absurdly Inaccurate History of Stuff… with songs!

Have you ever wondered about the history of the remote control, cowboys, dams, guitars, chocolate, recording technology, Valentine's Day, pianos, and other stuff? Well— you’ll need to keep wondering seeing as George Hrab’s “An Absurdly Inaccurate History of Stuff… with songs!” covers those topics but does so with absolutely zero accurate information. This hilarious presentation of very fake histories of very real subjects is interspersed with some of George’s songs, that surprisingly are much more factually accurate than anything in his lecture. Go figure.

George Hrab is an accomplished drummer, guitarist, pianist, and songwriter who has written and released eight albums plus a full-length, live concert film. Best known in his hometown of Bethlehem as the longtime drummer for The Philadelphia Funk Authority, George is the sparkling personality behind more than 850 episodes of The Geologic Podcast. Ranging in tone from incredibly serious to unbearably silly, his award-winning show features weekly musings about science, music, comedy, and life at large.

George is also co-creator and host of both the multi-generational game show, Boomer vs. Zoomer and the touring educational roadshow, A Skeptical Extravaganza of Special Significance. He has published two books of humorous essays: Non-Coloring Book, and Spiritual Healing & Balance Through Colonic Regularity. His commitment to science communication has led him to emcee countless conferences and conventions all over the world. He’s been a TEDx speaker (Rethinking Doubt: The Value and Achievements of Skepticism) and has presented multiple talks about the importance of critical thinking, science appreciation, dealing with grief, and popular culture.

We will be meeting at Between the Lines Studio Theatre, 725 N. 15th St., Allentown. [Note: the theater is the two-story building attached to the east side of the larger three-story building. Facing the building from the parking lot, it is to the right. Look for the picture window and the ramp.] Social time will be from 10:30 to 11 AM with the talk starting soon after opening remarks. Those who wish to stay for lunch after the event can join us at a local restaurant to be determined.

Free parking is in the lot directly across from the theatre entrance on Green St. We will record the talk and post it on our YouTube channel for later viewing.

Hope to see everyone there.
