Episode 148 | We’re in the Middle of Our Disaster Year

Each week, we come up with some absolutely bonkers stories, and this week is no different.

Angie shares how Holland dealt with an unpopular Grand Pensionary (think prime minister). Johan de Witt sparked such anger among the crowd that on August 20, 1672, they tore him apart and ate his remains.

Theresa gingerly side-steps the cannibalism and shares how Cherokee Chief Sequoyah fell in love with the concept of written language and created the first written version of a Native American language. The Cherokee Syllabary remains in use to this day.

This episode pairs well with: "Lord" Timothy Dexter Tarrare Sacagawea
