Welcome to One Up the Annals
Hosted by Rab Greeson.
Join me as I do a cinematic narration of my creative nonfiction.
This isn’t a typical talk into a mic and interview people. Come hear a unique take on topics I find interesting, episodes are produced with music and sfx.
This show digs into the moments, obsessions, and mischief that shaped our world… not the textbook versions, but the human ones. The “how did we get here?” moments that connect past to present.
Each episode blends,
Cinematic storytelling
Cultural commentary with teeth
A little humor (the classy kind, mostly)
A unique approach and perspective
Whether it’s artists spiraling into brilliance, rulers courting disaster, or icons wrestling with the thin line between genius and madness, the Annals bring it all to life with heart, style, and a dash of irreverence.
If you love history, storytelling, or simply seeing humanity at its most human, you’re in the right place.
Where shame becomes legend… and the past finally gets the podcast it deserves.
Goodnight.

Twice a year we move the clocks and pretend we’ve solved a problem with the sun.
Let’s goooooo
In Episode 27, Rab Greeson dives into the bizarre history of Daylight Saving Time — from a bug collector who wanted more daylight to chase insects, to wartime energy experiments, confused farmers, angry commuters, and the strange modern tradition of resetting your microwave while questioning your life choices.
Humanity has mapped the genome, split the atom, and sent spacecraft beyond the solar system.
And yet…
we still argue with the sun.
Goodnight
