This week we are joined by award winning author Amal El-Mohtar as we learn about herbiary plagiarism from the 16th century, how Kix cereal once offered toys with radioactive material, and the tale of a 14th century French dog pulling a reverse John Wick. A listener mail tells us about the most lopsided football game of all time.
