The Storytelling Podcast - Ep17 - The Great Emu War

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to The Storytelling Podcast, and today, we're heading to the vast, sun-baked landscape of Western Australia to witness a conflict so bizarre, it sounds like a comedy sketch. But I assure you, this story is completely true. It’s a tale of an army, a flock of birds, and a war that was lost before it even began. This is the unbelievable story of the Great Emu War of 1932, in all its fascinating and ridiculous detail.Visual Episode: https://youtu.be/zEj2RGz0baMSpotify Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4MB8hSwVZjFLsYQVjeqQvL?si=298402cea44746c7Available on all podcast platforms.------------------Sponsored by Revolut:Join me and over 60 million users who love Revolut.
