In this episode (recorded live to raise money for Comic Relief) we explore whether Bram Stoker's inspiration for Dracula was not Vlad the Impaler but in fact a bloodthirsty Irish warlord called Abhartach.
We also learn about LW Wright (a mysterious DB Cooper figure who conned his way into a NASCAR race with no experience), the barber-surgeons who could cut your hair and amputate a limb, and the Rosenhan Experiment (where a Stanford professor of psychology tested how good psychiatric institutions were at sorting actual patients from fakers, and the results weren't encouraging).
