Episode description

On this very wet edition of the Nonsense Bazaar, we’ll dive into the stories of two rainmakers: Don Decker, a man allegedly possessed by the devil who gained the ability to make it rain following a death in the family, and Lillie Stoat, the elderly Mississippi potion maker who caused a stir in the 1940s. She’s the most famous woman in history! We’ll examine the evidence for and against their abilities, hear a lot of silly names and once and for all, make it rain here at the Nonsense Bazaar.

And you can make it rain on us by joining The Nonsense Bazaar Patreon where you'll get bonus episodes, access to our Discord server, and the comfort of knowing that you're helping keep us from turning to the grift.
