About this listen
Nuclear survivors, meth-fuelled ski escapes, public barrel-wanking philosophers, and vampire opera singers - it's your history lesson, I Digress style.
This fact-filled romp through bizarre biographies uncovers the most jaw-dropping lives you’ve never heard of. From Diogenes the Cynic publicly peeing on people for “philosophy” to Julia Child’s double life as a wartime spy-slash-chef, no tale is too weird. Also featuring meth-fuelled Finnish soldiers, undead French divas, and a “gentleman’s club” that’s basically just old blokes wanking on silver platters.
• Diogenes: Ancient Greece’s original troll – lived in a barrel, insulted kings, and used his hand as a cup.
• WWII's Julia Child cooked up shark repellents before soufflés.
• And yes, there really was a secret society where nobility… anointed the furniture.
