96: Cavalcade of Rich Weirdos

from Oddball History · host Oddball History

This week on a very special Oddball History Podcast it's the Cavalcade of Rich Weirdos--three exceedingly wealthy and almost unbelievably weird men straight from the pages of history, from the barely literate American Revolution-era investment wizard Timothy Dexter to the early 18th century British playboy with a penchant for crashing carriages for fun, Mad Jack Mytton, to the always colorful Howard Hughes. PLUS: The highest stakes claw game, robot cars and a really great cheeseburger.
