#12 A Man Who Saved The World & A Man Who Looked To The Stars

July 04, 2025 • Mostly Unsung • Season 1 • Episode 12

It's Fourth of July! As a British Podcast hosted by two English women it has absolutely nothing to do with us. So we dedicated an entire episode to all things American! Cue the marching band, organise a pot luck (whatever the heck one of those is) and crack open some overly sugared beverages!

Join Annie as she tells the story of a scientist who used not one, but two of his children as guinea pigs; upset some people with his swearing, and eradicated some horrible diseases.

Then Andrea is in California, where the mid Century skies are positively teaming with UFOs, and an 8 foot tall, psychic alien has travelled a very long way to tell one young man it's time for a change of career.
