    Ep 238: Olympic retro - Tonya Harding & Nancy Kerrigan

    We're back! Happy Women's History Month! We think this counts - well, specifically, Taylor thinks this counts. The main characters are women, and the men in this story are SUCH IDIOTS that it's a + for women.   It's 1994, and the rivalry between Tonya Harding & Nancy Kerrigan is heating up (I know, I know). Enter Tonya's ex/current husband, Jeff, and his band of boobs (tm).   It's the Olympics! It's a crime! Tonya & Nancy are INCREDIBLE athletes!   Join us!   Are you young enough not to know what happens? Fascinating.

    Re-Release: Berlin 1936 - The Olympics under the Third Reich

    In 1936, the Olympics were hosted in Berlin, Germany. You guessed it - things were not great.   We'll talk about the wonderfully talented American Jesse Owens, the invention of Basketball, and the propaganda of Leni Riefenstahl. It was a scary time to be in Europe - Hitler thought that every Olympics would be in Berlin for the rest of time, but they did not.   The basketball courts would later be hanging fields.  Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod We would love to hear from you!
