Amelia Earhart: Jill of all Trades

What do the following jobs have in common: gravel truck driver, garbage can photographer, fashion designer, and airline VP? If you guessed that these were all jobs held by renowned aviatrix Amelia Earhart, you'd be correct. In this episode, we dive into the unexpected roles that shaped the woman who would defy the sky—and redefine what it meant to be a woman in the 20th century.

episode Did DuPont Poison the Entire World? artwork

Did DuPont Poison the Entire World?

Note: we apparently had a couple minor audio issues somewhere between editing and uploading. They shouldn’t affect the overall quality of the episode, but if something sounds slightly off at any point, that’s why! In this explosive episode, we pull back the curtain on DuPont, revealing the untold stories behind one of America's most influential chemical giants. Known for its groundbreaking innovations like Teflon and Kevlar, DuPont's legacy is not without its shadows. This expose digs into the darker corners of the company’s history, uncovering a pattern of environmental mishaps, corporate malfeasance, and legal battles that have remained largely under the radar. Recommendations: Book: Exposure by Rob Bilott Movie: Dark Waters Movie: The Devil You Know Song: DuPont by Jesse Welles Email us at weirdactuallypod@gmail.com if you have any questions or topics you want us to cover! Please spare a moment of your time to read about the Shanti family and consider donating to their fundraiser if you are able. Every bit helps! https://gofund.me/6c74d531
