187 - Joshua Norton, Emperor of The United States May 22, 2019

Show notes

In 19th century San Francisco, Joshua Norton was a wealthy businessman. But he lost it all rice deal gone wrong... He fell off the map for a few years and when he reemerged he was describing himself as The Emperor of The United States. And people just went with it. He started dressing the part and even issuing royal decrees and his city fully embraced him. This is the story of the eccentric Norton I, the first and so far only Emperor of The United States.

Show notes

Which 20th Century serial killer was dubbed the Butcher of Paris, the Demonic Ogre and Doctor Satan amongst others by the French Media? Marcel Petiot... it's a rollercoaster of an episode that has death, Nazis, French accents and RIDICULOUS SHENANIGANS (as described by Jaimi, the listener who suggested the topic).

184 - Roman Emperor Caligula (and his crazy antics) May 01, 2019

Show notes

Rome's third Emperor Caligula was arguably its craziest. It turns out being sex obsessed, violent, rich and all powerful isn't a great combination for the leader of the world's most powerful empire. From declaring war on the ocean to declaring himself a living god... He really had a lot of crazy antics.
