TR#80: Charles Fort! - Tank Riot

What this episode covers

Charles Fort! We discuss the life and works of one of the earliest investigators of the paranormal. He specialized in recording reports of strange, unexplained events, and wrote dense novels (The Book of the Damned, New Lands, Lo!, Wild Talents) that challenged the scientific thoughts of his day. He also inspired a Fortean Society based on his works. But first we recap our trip to Lambeau Field and Fighting Bob Fest 2009, including our thoughts on our discussion with the 911 Truthers at the event. Also, Daily Show vs. Stephen Colbert, Green Hornet, Mall Cops, Little Children, a Tank Riot contest, the mailbag and more.
