The World's First Roadtrip!

Have you ever borrowed a car to nip off for a few hours? Well, that's what Bertha Benz did except it was the only car in the world and nobody had ever nipped anywhere in one before! Ever! She was the wife of Carl Benz of Mercedes Benz fame, sure, but she was so much more. An investor, a businesswoman, a pioneer and the inventor of the roadtrip! Everything about this story is wild and comic, scientist and musical theatre writer, Helen Arney, is here to tell us all about Bertha.In addition, we'll learn so much about streets, road, avenues, parkways and intersections that our brains will look like spaghetti junctions! Plus, we'll all laugh at rude things because rude things are fanny, sorry, funny! See, you're laughing now.Oh, and did you know Neil was on Live at the Apollo? Well, you will after this!Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave MooreEdited by Cathal MinogueMusic by Dave MooreArtwork by Ray McDonnellFor more info on Neil's gigs see: www.neildelamere.com/gigsTo listen to Dave on the radio it's: https://www.todayfm.com/shows/dave-moore-1499732  Hosted on Acast.
