We recorded this far too early in the morning, so please bear with us as we have truly not had enough coffee to deal with life.
Okay, cool. Thanks for your patience.
Dreia is up first this week and she’s going to tell the story of the Dublin Whiskey Fires of 1845. During this period of time in Ireland, dinosaurs roamed the earth, pictures moved like in that wizard movie, and the fire department rode mastodons. Clearly – we know our history. This fire was massive and so was the amount of whiskey pouring through the streets of Dublin. Choices were made when it came to either drink the free booze or die and we’re torn one whether they were the right ones or not.
Maggie had the pleasure of researching the Lost Lady of the Amazon, otherwise known as Isabel Godin des Odonais. Isabel grew up a wealthy Spanish colonist in Riobamba, Peru (now Ecuador) who was obsessed with France. The man she fell in love with and later married was separated from her due to politics for 20 long years. This is the story of how Isabel sacrificed the lives of 42 people in order to traipse through the Amazon rainforest in her quest to be reunited with her husband.
