Before Hitting It Big With His Novels, Kurt Vonnegut Invented A Board Game

from Cool Weird Awesome with Brady Carlson · host Brady Carlson

This week in 1922, the birthday of Kurt Vonnegut. He wrote some of the most striking and acclaimed novels of the 20th Century, but before he became a literary giant, he tried his hand at something more small-scale: a board game. Plus: today in 2017, a fast food chain in Argentina decided to team up with its usual rival for a good cause.
