49. A Medical Oddity from Italy: Parasitic Twins

from The Ripple Podcast · host Rosa and Angela

This week we travel all the way back to the year 1617 and find ourselves in Italy where Lazarus and his parasitic twin, Joannes Baptisa Colloredo were born. Rosa tells the story of their life, how they made money, and some trouble they got in (and out of). She also gives the history of Betty-Lou Williams and her parasitic twin. Betty-Lou was a star starting at the age of 2 and was a performer her entire life, that ended too quickly. Find out about the great things she did and what happened to her.  Plus, we also discuss the history of toothbrushes, dog parks, art installments in the desert and The Queens Gambit.  Tonight's Drink: An Amaretto Sour
