Welcome back to Bloomin’ Legends! The podcast where we uncover the wildest, most legendary, and unbelievable true stories from history!

In this episode, Johnny Vaughan and Gavin "The Woodman" Woods ride through the revolutionary life of Simón Bolívar. The fiery freedom fighter who took on the Spanish Empire and liberated half a continent with sheer willpower, political cunning, and a whole lot of marching.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

⚔️ The Latin American Gamechanger – How one man reshaped the fate of nations

🗺️ Six Countries, One Vision – Why Bolívar wasn’t just fighting Spain—he was building a legacy

🥵 Jungle Battles & Frostbitten Marches – The brutal campaigns that almost broke him (but never did)

👑 The Revolutionary Who Could’ve Been King – And why he walked away from it all

Bloomin’ Legend or Not?

At the end of the episode, we decide: Was Simón Bolívar a true Bloomin’ Legend? Or just a glory-hungry general with good PR?
