Joined this week by returning guests Jack Steiger (NSA Watchlist) and Angelo Gingerelli (Handsome Author) me and the Kahuna let them run wild with the bizarre legacy of Ayn Rand, a female author that's been dead for decades but still brought up on the regular. We have a fun conversation about her flaws, her appeal and why the mere mention of her name brings up such varied responses.

Robert Ripley started off drawing cartoons for newspapers and soon developed a following that allowed him to explore most of the known world and report back on the weirdest and oddest things Earth had to offer. We talk about early "Freak" shows, the disturbing "Geek" shows and how Ripley's legacy still impacts people today.

Despite the bigotry of the time, the Harlem Hellfighters, a majority Black American Army unit fought with honor and distinction in The "Great War". Despite their heroism, the Unit experienced racism in the US, earned the nickname "Men of Bronze" from the French, saw more combat and suffered more losses than any American unit in the war....oh yeah, they also introduced the French to Jazz...wild stuff!
