In this episode of the year 1904, Merisa talks about The Olympic Marathon which took place at The World's Fair in Saint Louis, Missouri. Jordan explains Nikola Tesla's attempt on explaining the phenomenon of "ball lightning" and Foo Fighters.  This podcast series is about anything from well-known international events to obscure moments in history. We’re not historians, just two long time friends learning about occurrences that interest us from the 20th century, and then sharing them with each other. Every episode will cover a different topic from each of us, which happened in that year, starting with the year 1900.  Listen to this new show titled “This Year In History”, and if you’re not careful, you just might learn something. Available on all podcast platforms.  For pictures and bonus information on this episode, subscribe to the This Year In History YouTube channel, and follow us on Instagram and/or "Like" our page on Facebook, where you can continue the conversation with us.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9wphzLedO4LZayNQTCMEKg/featured  www.instagram.com/thisyearinhistorypodcast  www.facebook.com/thisyearinhistory
