With an election just a couple days away, we're off to the races with presidential candidates of and other overachieving eccentrics.

Topics include:

  • The third party candidates of the 20th century who helped shape today's political landscape. 
  • October Surprises that jolted 19th century POTUS races.
  • The one-and-only "Lord" Timothy Dexter, the bats**t crazy Newburyport merchant who fell repeatedly ass-backwards into a fortune.

And as promised in the show...we give you Lord Dexter's grand "palace", bedecked with statues of other great men.
