About this listen
John Quincy Adams: science nerd, policy wonk... almostfunder of a journey to the center of the freaking Earth? Yeah, that happened. Kind of.
This week, Kyle and Eric dig into the gloriously unhinged tale of John Cleves Symmes Jr.—an ex-Army guy turned HollowEarth hype man—who tried to convince Congress that the Earth was basically a cosmic donut. And guess what? It almost worked.
Was JQA secretly into sci-fi? Did Congress take leave of itssenses? Why did the frontier love this guy while Harvard told him to kick rocks? We’ve got conspiracies, crank science, and just enough Manifest Destiny to make it weird.
