53 Presidents: Edith Wilson / Fidel Castro
Manage episode 214537940 series 2360709
It's the first episode of the second year of Idiots Talk History! And with that anniversary we have decided to make use of a new beginning. Now instead of a long report on a single topic, we will each report on a topic linked by a key word.
This first episode focuses on Presidents.
Lorna is up first, reporting on Edith Wilson. Many believe that when her husband President Woodrow Wilson fell ill, Edith took charge of the White House and the country, becoming the unofficial first female President of the USA.
Matt chooses to focus on Cuba, where Fidel Castro was first Prime Minister then President. Castro survived an alleged 634 attempts on his life by various outside forces (mainly the CIA), and Matt rattles off some of the most ridiculous.
There's talk of hated secretaries, molluscs and even Guinness World Records this week!
