Time Travel & Gangster Hideouts
Episode 671
What if time travel wasn’t just science fiction? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, we unravel the mind-bending concept of the Tipler Cylinder. This theoretical object could, in theory, send you spiraling through time like a cosmic waterslide. Could it actually work? Is it working now? And if so… where do we sign up?
Then, we shift gears (and centuries) With guest host Nan McNamara to uncover why St. Paul, Minnesota, became the go-to gangster paradise in the early 1900s. Spoiler: It wasn’t the weather. From public enemies to backroom deals, we dig into the secret arrangement that turned this Midwestern city into a criminal utopia.
Get ready for a journey through wormholes and whiskey-fueled heists. Time travel, notorious gangsters, and the unexpected weirdness of history—it’s all here!
