Summary
Formerly ‘Heroes of the Bowl’, The Half Bowl Histories series takes a look into the history, lore, and legacy of individuals, places, and events of interest that helped shape the world we know today for good and for ill. Here we get a chance to revisit some of the famous pipe smokers we’ve covered in the past and shift the focus from what they loved to who they were and the complexities of their lives. This week: Merian C. Cooper

11)Shank garnish (ie brass, silver, gold, bamboo, acrylic) or plain.
13)Nomenclature proudly displayed or cleverly hidden
Listener Feedback:
(From dsharader87) Hey I’m a fan of the podcast. I listen to it weekly. With Jon David & Beau’s Legends of the pipe series or whatever name they change it to I have a candidate they may be interested in. Shelby Foote is a renowned author who I think is from Mississippi. He wrote the popular civil war a narrative and was on ken burns the civil war documentary form the 90s’s. He was always smoking a pipe.
(From James) I would like to suggest Charles nelson Reilly for a pipe smoker episode. He was an actor/comedian and was on Match Game for many years and was often smoking his pipe during the show.
(From David LaMontaine) I’m really enjoying your podcast on pirates. Maybe think about doing one on legendary marine general and pipe smoke Lewis “Chesty” Puller.
