Hello, and welcome to The Past and the Curious!

I'm Mick Sullivan, and I make this show for you.

This is another episode of The Underwear Chronicles.

Long story short, I will have a new book out, hopefully this winter, the winter of 2020.

It's called I.C. Lincoln's Underpants, and it's a lot of fun, it's a lot like this

show, and I'm giving you 14 of the chapters in the lead up to the release.

There are a few other chapters that will be included in the book that you won't get

on the podcast, and a whole bunch of other fun stuff in the book as well.

I cannot wait to share it with the world, and I hope you find a copy somehow.

I will let you know as soon as it's available I promise.

In the meantime, enjoy this episode, which may be a bit familiar.

It's about Utsi, the Iceman, and we covered him a bit when we did a collaborative episode

with our friends from Tumble, the incredible science podcast.

This is a different version of the story, so it's got plenty of new stuff for you, so

sit back, relax, and if it's hot where you are, you know, pretend you're in a cold place,

but not as cold as where Utsi was.

Underwear is kind of funny.

In many cases, we don't know much about what people wear underneath because most people

prefer to only share their clothes on the outside.

Despite the fact that we probably all have underwear on right now, it's still easy to

get uptight and tight-lipped about our tidy whites.

Most people from the past felt the same way, if not more so.
