Cool Weird Awesome With Brady Carlson

Trailblazing journalist Nellie Bly once feigned severe mental illness to expose abuses at an asylum from the inside. New York City is now putting up a monument in her honor on the site where the asylum once stood. Plus: today is the birthday of the Trans-Canada Highway, which runs from St. John’s Newfoundland to Victoria, British Columbia. If my math is right, you could listen to like 1,600 episodes of this show while driving from one end to the other.  Journalist Nellie Bly Will Receive a Monument on the Grounds of the Asylum She Helped Close (Hyperallergic) Trans-Canada Highway (The Canadian Encyclopedia) Backing Cool Weird Awesome on Patreon would be... monumental!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coolweirdawesome/message
