The story of the bat bomb begins as so many horrible things do: with a dental surgeon in Pennsylvania who had some connection to Eleanor Roosevelt. In this episode, David tells the story of a completely insane weapon that was built and tested during the World War 2 era, but was ultimately never used. Bill Sunderland and Dani Siller of Escape This Podcast join us again to dive down the rabbit hole of the bat bomb. They also tell us about their podcast Solve This Murder. Today’s game is Right Off the Bat, where every answer is a word containing the letters “B A T.”
