The Frisbee may look simple, but its story is a wonderfully odd flight through American campuses, pie companies, toy marketing, physics, counterculture, sport, and design. In this episode of Compact History, we trace how a humble flying disc went from casual student fun to a worldwide phenomenon, shaping games like Ultimate and disc golf along the way. It is part toy, part sport, part aerodynamic miracle, and somehow still the easiest way to lose something over a neighbour's fence.
