Episode 191 | Jokes on You. I Don’t Know What to Expect
Description
This week is full of DYK sidebars, and we are not sorry even a little bit.
Theresa kicks things off with the story of Mexico’s first Black president, Vicente Guerrero. Did she mention he was the second president in the country’s history?! Buckle in as she shares the very short presidency of Guerrero, who would still make his mark when he abolished slavery and established the possibility for a second underground railroad headed south of the border.
Angie can’t wait to celebrate Fall. So she kicks off Spooky season early with a tale of the Eddy Brothers. These psychic brothers hailed from Chittenden and were hometown heroes. But many view these mediums as frauds who merely took advantage of the Spiritualism movement. Who’s to say?
This story pairs well with:
General Antonio López de Santa Anna and how he lost his legs during the Pastry War of 1838
