About This Episode

Welcome to History's Not Boring! Before computers, before even pencils, how did people get books? They copied them by hand! Imagine taking *five years* just to copy ONE book! That sounds super slow and boring, right? Meet Johannes Gutenberg! (P.S. His name is super long, and we try to pronounce it!) Gutenberg was a clever inventor who hated boring things. He used his amazing brain to invent the Printing Press! This giant, brilliant machine could make books faster than you can eat a cookie. Suddenly, stories, facts, and cool ideas weren't just for rich people anymore—they were for *everyone*! Join Mira and Finn as we learn how one giant machine changed the entire world forever, making knowledge easy to find! It’s the biggest revolution you’ve never heard of!
