96: Cavalcade of Rich Weirdos
<p>This week on a very special Oddball History Podcast it's the Cavalcade of Rich Weirdos--three exceedingly wealthy and almost unbelievably weird men straight from the pages of history, from the barely literate American Revolution-era investment wizard Timothy Dexter to the early 18th century British playboy with a penchant for crashing carriages for fun, Mad Jack Mytton, to the always colorful Howard Hughes. PLUS: The highest stakes claw game, robot cars and a really great cheeseburger. </p>

95: "1, 2, 3, 4... FIVE EMPERORS???": The Year of Five Emperors
<p>This week on a very special Oddball History, it's the Year of Five Emperors, a wild, bloody, chaotic time even by the standards of the Roman Empire--from Commodus being strangled by his personal trainer on New Year's Eve 192, setting the whole sordid saga in motion, to the great and brutal general Septimius Severus emerging from the pack of would-be emperors as the last emperor standing. PLUS: Fun with 1940s slang, the Greek Myth of the week and of course, Varsity Blues.</p>
