Mexican painter Frida Kahlo is one of the most famous artists of the 20th Century. She also had a crazy and somwhat tragic life, all stemming from an accident when she was a teenager. As well as creating masterpieces, Kahlo married the most well known Mexican artist of her day, Diego Rivera... both of whom had had dozens of affairs. She always spoke her mind and is now an icon for the LGBTI community, feminists and people living with disabilities. Support the show and get rewards like bonus episodes:www.patreon.com/DoGoOnPodSubmit a topic idea directly to the hat: http://bit.ly/DoGoOnHat Twitter: @DoGoOnPodInstagram: @DoGoOnPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoGoOnPod/Email us: dogoonpod@gmail.comShow references and further reading on Frida Kahlo:https://www.biography.com/people/diego-rivera-9459446https://www.diegorivera.org/creation.jsphttps://www.brainpickings.org/2014/05/22/diego-rivera-frida-kahlo-meeting/https://www.frida-kahlo-foundation.org/biography.htmlhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Frida-Kahlohttp://www.pbs.org/weta/fridakahlo/life/https://www.biography.com/people/frida-kahlo-9359496https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/1995/09/frida-kahlo-diego-rivera-art-diaryhttps://www.fridakahlo.org/frida-kahlo-biography.jsphttp://www.lesbiannews.com/a-bisexual-affair-frida-kahlo-and-josephine-baker/http://www.fridakahlostory.com/frida-blog/the-accident-that-changed-fridas-life-forever-life-begins-tomorrowhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/aug/12/artnews.arthttp://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/diego-rivera-about-the-artist/64/https://www.fridakahlo.org/self-portrait-the-frame.jspDiego Rivera, Jimmy Souter, Published October 1st 2009 by Parkstone Press USA, LimitedMy Art, My Life: An Autobiography, Diego Rivera and Gladys March, Citadel Press 1960 Hosted on Acast.

David Livngstone you presume? Correct! One of the most famous people of the Victorian era, David Livingstone was a terrible missionary... But lucky for him he was a fantastic explorer. Travelling to Africa for three seperate epic adventures, he went to an incredible amount of places no other European person had ever been before him. He is also perhaps best remembered for his advocacy against slavery. Support the show and get rewards like bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/DoGoOnPod Twitter: @DoGoOnPod Instagram: @DoGoOnPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoGoOnPod/ Email us: dogoonpod@gmail.comSOURCES/FURTHER READING ON LIVINGSTONE:https://www.britannica.com/biography/David-Livingstonehttps://www.biography.com/people/david-livingstone-9383955https://www.britannica.com/topic/Opium-Warshttp://zambezitraveller.com/livingstone/history/david-livingstone%E2%80%99s-early-missionary-years-and-first-expeditionLivingstone, David, Missionary Travels and Researches In South Africa (1858)http://www.historytoday.com/richard-cavendish/david-livingstone-reaches-victoria-fallshttp://www.tothevictoriafalls.com/vfpages/discovery/second.htmlThe Daring Heart of David Livingstone: Exile, African Slavery, and the Publicity Stunt That Saved Millions - Jay Milbrandt (2014)https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Doctor+Livingstone%2C+I+presume%3Fhttps://www.nts.org.uk/Learn/adult_hidden_livingstone.php Hosted on Acast.

This week we discuss the life of the most decorated Marine in US History, Lewis "Chesty" Puller! Yep, it's another badass! We get distracted a fair bit too, and there's a lot of US military jargon that we don't fully understand becuase A) We are Australian and B) we are podcasters and NOT in the military. Regardless, Chesty is a very impressive person! Twitter: @DoGoOnPod Instagram: @DoGoOnPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoGoOnPod/ Email us: dogoonpod@gmail.com  Hosted on Acast.
