Episode Details

No one loves work functions, but office booze cruises are worse because there’s no sneaking out early. But you’ve probably never been on a work cruise so bad it led to the death of 635,000 people?

In this history changing episode: you’ll learn the death-cries of different presidents, we’ll learn how a cannon can have more than one business-end, and we’re going to play the worst game of ship-board body-part Twister that literally changed the course of American history forever.

This is one hell of a story. It has everything – love, political intrigue, explosions! But it also has shocking levels of personal greed, jealousy and consequence. It’s a larger-than-life story with real life consequences. We’ve done a few episodes now where people in authority makes rash or bizarre decisions that end up getting a lot of innocent people replaced by urns – but this one happened, and it effected the timeline. Oh, and it involves cannons.

Celebrity guests include more former Presidents than you could fight with two hands, blabbermouth socialite Dolly Madison, Swedish unicorn John Ericsson, Headless Horseman associate Ichabod Crane, would-be knife murderer John Potter, and exploded mill owner Cadwallader Washburn.

THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone.
 
I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you. If you'd like to support the show at Buy Me A Coffee, or join the club over at Patreon for AD-FREE EPISODES, LONGER EPISODES, EXTRA CONTENT, all that good stuff (I’m truly sorry about those ads, they're not in my control)
