Stranger than Stranger Things. The Flip Side of History gives you tales full of strange news, trivia, and facts. Some made newspaper headlines, others were lost in history:

- The amazing story of the only person rescued from slavery by the Underground Railroad four times.
- That time a man in the 1950s stole hundreds of women's shoes in Coronado and San Diego, California. The shoes, most of them the left shoe, were found dispersed randomly all over town.

Brilliant Listen!
Great narration and well written - and perfect sized snippets to listen to on the way into work, or over lunch. A great podcast style book that is interesting and an easy listen at the same time.
