Welcome back to another episode of Mostly Unsung, the comedy history podcast that brings you stories you've never heard of, all served up with a big dollop of nonsense.This week come along with Andrea as she takes us to San Francisco where a man faces the ups and downs of rice investments and then decides he'd rather be crowned royalty and hang out with some infamous dogs.Annie takes us to the mud of the trenches of First World War France, one of the British regiments has an interesting looking new recruit, with a very big secret.Andrea used these sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Nortonhttps://emperornortontrust.org/emperor/lifehttps://www.historians.org/perspectives-article/the-unselfish-ruler-norton-i-emperor-of-the-united-states-december-2023/Annie used these sources:https://www.historytoday.com/archive/months-past/dorothy-lawrencehttp://www.wiltshireatwar.org.uk/story/sapper-dorothy-lawrence-a-forgotten-wiltshire-heroine/https://www.herstoricaltours.co.uk/post/herstory-dorothy-lawrence-from-the-trenches-to-the-asylum?srsltid=AfmBOopFZTBQvYBtsReqDrfTGkMK4mhrtBOtGkwCe9KNCvVxaSJg5ITuWhere you can find us:https://www.instagram.com/mostlyunsung/https://www.facebook.com/share/16J4vuMy1h/https://www.tiktok.com/@[email protected] you next Wednesday!
