In 1904, the city of St. Louis won the bid to house one of the new Olympic games. In this episode, Kara is diving into the wild and whacky events that took place in these games— including women racing to win a pound of tea, marathon runners being denied water and only given alcohol, and one dude even being poisoned with strychnine. 

The 1904 Olympics was one for the history books—before you know it, everything will fly off the rails. So sit back and relax with a sports drink of your choice… like brandy—and enjoy the chicanery.
