Bonus Episode: Competitive Walking Competitions, Or Pedestrianism


Listen Later

Our listeners have been nice this year so Santa has told us to give you all a gift!

Brody Karn, Esq. teaches us about one of the most intriguing fads of the 19th Century: Pedestrianism. There is a doping scandal, cheating accusations, Walkers becoming the faces of trading cards, ethnic turf walking wars, women breaking the glass ceiling of athleticism, and so much more! Plus, Nathan Lane stars in.......everything!
