When researching Louis Armstrong, we fell down the jazz rabbit hole a bit. There was so much about this incredible man's life that no hour-long podcast can do him justice, but we did our best to give you a rounded perspective on this jazz genius' incredible life. You will learn:

1. How getting arrested as a boy became the best thing that ever happened to Louis.

2. Why he said that a US President had no "guts?"

And,

3. Why did Louis embrace, of all things, laxatives?
