Good morning, good day, good evening and goodnight! Welcome to episode 22 of The Insomnia Report- grab your pencils and your notebooks because class is in session for our longest episode to date!

First, Margot takes us on a hot-air balloon trip to the moon as she tells us about the one and only Edgar Allan Poe. Poe lived as a starving artist and faced much heartache so he would totally be a modern day emo. How did he shape literature? What were the curious circumstances regarding his death? Why was his marriage so shocking? Find out through much verschlimmbessern. 

Then, Elizabeth takes us back to the 1960's and tells us about Fred Hampton- a civil rights activist from Chicago and chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party. Find out how even years later history seems to repeat itself and how his son inspired the Fall Out Boy song "You're Crashing, But You're No Wave".
