89: 1915 Timeline Twist & The Execution of Joe Hill
from You Ain't a'Woofin · host Amy Jo McCarville and Valerie Alonzo
On today’s episode, Valerie presents World War I in a nutshell (no big deal), the birth of the classic jumping snake prank, the most racist American movie ever made, a new kind of “gleaming glass” baking dish, and the popular dog treat that you never knew was invented by an MIT trained organic chemist in the 1915 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo shares the captivating story of Swedish activist Joe Hill, gifted song writer, and member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW aka. Wobblies). He was treated for a gunshot wound and then accused of murdering an ex-cop grocery store owner and his son. Police immediately shot him in the hand, tried him, then executed him, solidifying his legacy as a champion for worker’s rights. But was he guilty?
