Episode 110! Peter the Great, The Hairy Eagle and more!
Did I decide on an episode about Peter the Great just so I could say 6-7 a few times to be cringe and make kids laugh? Yes, yes I did. But it's a really fun story about when the Tsar of All Russia travelled "incognito" through Europe.
And as a bonus, we're talking hair sales, hair wreaths, and even the not-so-famous "Hairy Eagle!"

Composer Joseph Haydn is buried with two skulls. You'll never believe why (hint: it has to do with phrenology).

Mountains To Climb
Henriette D'angeville was the first woman to climb Mount Blanc in the Alps, despite everyone advising her not to try it.
Decades later, Julia Archibald Holmes (a friend of John Brown's) became the first woman to summit Pike's Peak, a feat that Pike himself never did.
