147. Rattlesnake King and Gregor MacGregor
Snek oil, apply directly to the forehead! Snek oil, apply directly for the forehead! That’s our interpretation of what an 1800s commercial for snake oil would sound like. And don’t get it confused with the very real and highly effective Chinese folk medicine! Learn the origins of the snake oil idiom with Kat, then learn about our next conman of the week: Gregor MacGregor! The “Prince of Poyais” conned his way into the Mosquito Coast, and it’s worse than it sounds! https://linktr.ee/NightClassy Add us on BeReal @katjawinterb and @hollysancha!

144. Balto and Psychedelic Christmas
Happy Holidays to our Night Classmates! Nothing says Christmas like deadly disease and psychedelics amiright? Kat takes us to Nome, Alaska where a team of super mushers risked everything to deliver life-saving diphtheria medicine in The Great Race of Mercy. #justicefortogo.

143. Dionne Quintuplets and Missing-Children Milk Cartons
Hayley covers the Dionne Quintuplets, the first known suriving identitcal quintuplets. Within a week of their birth, World's Fair exhibitors requested an appearance of the newborn sisters. And this was only the beginnging... Next, Kat has a depressing lesson too! Missing and disappearing children in the 70s and 80s gave us stranger danger, and eventually "missing-children milk cartons." MIlk cartons walked so Amber Alerts could run. https://linktr.ee/NightClassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2022

142. Hash House Harriers and Mad Gasser of Mattoon
There's running, and then there's ~cool~ running. The Hash House Harriers are a "Drinking club with a running problem" founded in 1938. We may or may not have been convinced to workout! Next, Kat tells us about the Mad Gasser (no, this is not just Chipotle smear campaign). In the 1940s, a masked individual in the small town of Mattoon, Illinois was terrorizing citizens with a chemical gas that caused temporary paralysis. Take this learny journey with us to get to solve the case of the Mad Gasser. Vote for your favorite topics of 2022! https://linktr.ee/NightClassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2022

141. Roman Chariot Racing and Ourang Medan
Kat explains why while she hates sports, ancient chariot racing was to die for. Literally. Roman chariot races were intense, but not as intense as their fandom. Next, get ready to suspend your disbelief as Hayley launches into her own “Blue Adept” journey with the story of the SS Ourang Medan ghost ship. Is it real or is it the creepiest thing that’s ever happened? You be the judge! https://linktr.ee/NightClassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2022

Substitute: Condoms (w/ Justin Stoerp)
Happy Thanksgiving! Kat and Hayley are on thanksgiving break this week so we present a never-before-heard episode from the Night Classy Vault™ ! In the spirit of friendsgiving our substitute teacher is our good friend Justin Stoerp (formerly of What the Gays Say Podcast.) He's here to teach us a lesson on condoms or as we now call them cement dip-its. Enjoy this brief history of men wrapping their penises in weird shit. If you're wondering why our references to the Bachelor are all from Clayton's season it's because this was recorded in March 2022. Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2022
