In today's episode of History and Hearsay, we are discussing how history is often stranger than fiction, and if you look behind the polished portraits of historical figures, you’re sure to find some pretty surprising tid bits. Like the former US President who was actually pretty amazing at wrestling and the famous inventor who apparently was a fart joke connoisseur. Hope you enjoy this lighter themed episode =)
