Okay, campers, rise and shine and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cold out there today! No, you’re not stuck in a loop, unless you’ve already listened to this episode before. But today’s episode is all about a seemingly silly holiday that has a fascinating history behind it and a 1993 movie that probably helped it become most likely permanently attached to Bill Murray. You’re listening to The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History of the Ordinary. I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Groundhog Day. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Find out more about <a href= "http://thestorybehindpodcast.com/book-updates">The Story Behind Book</a>!</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Check out Emily’s other podcast, <a href= "http://www.hatetoweight.com">Hate to Weight</a>!</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/312989255824599/">Join The Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook!</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Follow The Story Behind: <a href= "https://twitter.com/storybehindpod">Twitter</a> | <a href= "http://facebook.com/storybehindpod">Facebook</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/storybehindpod/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.pinterest.com/thestorybehindpod/pins/">Pinterest</a> | <a href= "http://thestorybehindpodcast.com/">Website</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">This episode was brought to you by The Story Behind <a href= "http://thestorybehindpodcast.com/executive-producers">Executive Producers</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/thestorybehind">Click here to become an Executive Producer and support this podcast on Patreon.</a></li> </ul> Media: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "../item_id/musicformakers.com">Music for Makers</a></li> </ul> Sources: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-groundhog-day"> First Groundhog Day - History.com</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.npr.org/2019/02/02/690926238/groundhog-day-2019-punxsutawney-phil-predicts-an-early-spring"> Groundhog Day 2019: Punxsutawney Phil Predicts An Early Spring - NPR</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.farmersalmanac.com/groundhog-day-history-folklore-23718"> Why A Groundhog?
