About the Episode

This episode is a follow-up to episode 4, the story of Annie Edson Taylor, so we recommend listening to that first!

In this episode, Charlotte talks about Bobby Leach, the second person to traverse the Niagara Falls in a barrel, and who died a surprisingly sad and mundane death after living a life of reckless adventure, including a series of daredevil stunts and a job performing at the Barnum & Bailey Circus.
