    100: Alabama & the Women who got hit by a Meteorite

    100: Alabama & the Women who got hit by a Meteorite

    Alabama is unique for its rich history, diverse geography, and significant contributions to both the Civil Rights Movement and space exploration. Known as the "Heart of Dixie," it boasts landscapes from mountains and forests to Gulf Coast beaches. Key civil rights events in Montgomery and Selma helped shape American history. Additionally, Huntsville's role in developing the U.S. space program earned it the nickname "The Rocket City." These elements combine to make Alabama a state with a distinctive and influential heritage.



    On November 30, 1954, Ann Hodges from Sylacauga, Alabama, became the only known person to be struck by a meteorite and survive. While napping on her couch, a meteorite crashed through her roof, bounced off a radio, and hit her, leaving a large bruise. The incident attracted worldwide attention, and after a legal battle, the meteorite was returned to Hodges, who later donated it to the Alabama Museum of Natural History. The event brought significant stress to her life, but it remains a unique and fascinating chapter in both her personal story and meteorite history.

A little too scary

Me and my 7 year old listened to the first episode and it was too much for him. The natural disaster along with uncertainty and death was too much for him.

Poor Sound

Listening for the first time and while I lovvvve the podcast, we are traveling and have the sound all the way up on our car and also on the phone, playing the podcast via Bluetooth. It is very quiet and hard to hear.
