Curtis Howe Springer was one of the last medicine men and a quack who operated for decades in the deserts of California. He lied about having several degrees and became a radio minister to hock his own vitamins and panaceas that didn't work.

Warren G. Harding is frequently ranked by historians as the worst U.S President of ALL TIME. But even before he even became president, he was trouble for the Republican Party. WHY? Because the woman he had been cheating on his wife with, brought his many MANY letters to the blackmail the ENTIRE PARTY into sending her on vacation to Japan, because SHE found out he was cheating on her with ANOTHER woman. Yeah.

Urbain Grandier was a priest in France during the 1600s who was burned at the stake for being a witch. Unfortunately for him it was more a political murder in which 17 nuns were coerced into pretending to be possessed and under his control.

Hannibal of Carthage was one of the most brilliant military strategists the world has ever seen, but when he crossed the Alps into Italy, Rome thought they could take him. But one man tried to warn them not to go head to head with Hannibal; Fabius Maximus knew Hannibal would destroy the Roman army if attacked head on. He tried to stop Rome from directly confronting Hannibal, but it's really hard to get people excited about your strategy of hanging around annoying Hannibal until he gets bored and leaves. So Rome decided to ignore Fabius and attack Hannibal directly at the Battle of Cannae.

Star Citizen is a three game 300 million dollar effort without an end in site that has players spending as much as 3000 dollars per ship for a game that will probably never be released. With a target launch date of 2014, we're already 5 years past promised dates and every few weeks the goal posts get moved a little further.

When Ford created the Edsel they were finally recovering from the disaster of World War II, and the mismanagement of the elder Henry Ford who had become paranoid and unreliable in his later years. A group of men known as the Whiz Kids had helped turn the company into a lean, efficient company, and now it was time to turn the page and write new brighter history with a car that would look to the future. That car, they thought, was the Edsel. You probably know how that turned out. But this is the story who fought for and against the Edsel and why it was such a disaster.

The Salem Witch Trials were a bit of hysteria in Salem Town and Salem Village during 1692. 20 people were hung, crushed, or died in prisons. Hundreds more were accused. We dig deep and talk about ergot poisoning, hysteria, and how teenagers might be causing hangings out of boredom.

The history of rabbits in Australia goes back as far as the first attempts to colonize the continent. It's understandable why the settlers would have brought the animals along; they multiply quickly and they're pretty good eating. Unfortunately the downside is that they multiply quickly and they're pretty good AT eating. Australia has been battling the rabbit scourge for nearly 150 years. This is the story of that battle.

This week we talk about the strange phenomenon of people buying Twitch and YouTuber Belle Delphine's bathwater. It might be a good idea financially for her, but the people drinking it are not quite so smart.
