About this episode
Robert Ripley started off drawing cartoons for newspapers and soon developed a following that allowed him to explore most of the known world and report back on the weirdest and oddest things Earth had to offer. We talk about early "Freak" shows, the disturbing "Geek" shows and how Ripley's legacy still impacts people today.
