Summary
In this episode I'm joined by my buddy Scott and we discuss the book, When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain: History's Unknown Chapters by Giles Milton.
This book is a fun exploration of some weird and unbelievable historical events.
We talk about the cook aboard the Titanic, who pickled himself with whiskey and survived in the icy seas where most everyone else died. And we discuss the man who survived the atomic bomb in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Plus much more!
Join Scott and I in this fun talk and review about the book!
This episode is a bit of an experiment trying something different. On my Instagram last month, I announced that I'd be trying out a Curiosityness book club. Just something fun where I can hang with my friends on the podcast in an even more relaxed atmosphere. So here's the first episode, let me know what you think and if we should do it again (travis@curiosityness.com).
