In this episode, Ellie chats about inventors that were killed by their own inventions.  She also invented a cocktail AND a drinking game for this episode, folks! What can we say? We’re real Renaissance Women on this podcast.  It’s a good thing we had a drinking game, too because Abby discusses the horrific topics of Imperialism in Africa and the grandson of the Jameson fortune, James Sligo Jameson.  In his exploration, he got up to some nasty things.  What did he do, exactly? Well, you could Google it, OR you COULD listen to this episode and find out!  Both are free, but one is a bit more entertaining than the other (at least, we’d like to think so!).
