37: 1930 Timeline Twist & The Tragic Life of Carl Panzram

On today’s episode, Valerie’s 1930 Timeline Twist covers Harry Matthews’ delightful Sky Projector AND his “dangerous” death ray, the inspiration and family scandal connected to famed Grant Wood painting American Gothic, Valerie indulges her love of Art Deco architecture, and we learn the 1930 Watkins Cookbook recipe for Macaroni Loaf - we hear it’s better with bacon! We discuss the history of the Snickers Bar, and reveal the magical secrets of Popular Science’s Spiritphone. Next, Amy Jo tells the devastating life story of serial killer Carl Panzram. It’s a story that truly illustrates how a killer is made, including an abusive and violent childhood, his dangerous life on the rails, multiple stints in an Are You New? style list of jails and prisons across the globe, his many, many escapes, and how he might have FINALLY found an ounce of peace at the end of his life, even writing his own memoir before his execution.  For content sources visit our website: youaintawoofinpod.com Follow and Support Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youaintawoofinpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YouAintaWoofin/ Patreon: http://patreon.com/user?u=106344174
