#12 A Medical Man Who Saved Millions & A Man Who Spoke To Aliens

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

It's Fourth of July! As a British Podcast hosted by two English best friends it has absolutely nothing to do with us. So we dedicated an entire episode to American History you might not of heard of! 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, with the help of his children's playground bugs, upsets some people with his swearing, and eradicates 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 and thoughts of elections and then the presidency.
