Episode 189 | Aside From Being First Cousins
Description
Another week, another set of stories that would never normally be told side by side.
This week, Theresa kicks things off with the story of Tsutomu Yamaguchi – the only (recognized) man who survived both the Nagasaki and Hiroshima atomic bombings. Learn more about how someone who finds himself within two miles of the blast radius, twice, and lives to tell the tale. Theresa also covers why, even though he is one of roughly 170 people who experienced this, he is the only one recognised.
Angie, ever the palate cleanser, shifts gears to share Henry Paget’s life with listeners. This man lived life to the fullest. He inherits a title and wealth and lives loud and proud, accumulating debts like it was his life’s goal. He was such an embarrassment to his family that they would try to wipe away his memory, until later descendants would treasure his antics.
This story pairs well with:
Paul Nobuo Tatsuguchi and the Battle of Attu
