S1 Episode 9: Cafe Central’s Nefarious Regulars, New Zealand’s South Island, and What About Bob?
Manage episode 315995270 series 3207083
In January 1913, five infamous historical villains frequented the same coffee shop in Vienna, Austria. Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Josip Tito were all regulars at Cafe Central. This true historical phenomenon is the starting point for Dennis’ latest novel, To Trust In What We Cannot See. In this episode of the podcast, Dennis discusses the origins of his newest book, including the trip to Vienna that started it all. Next, Colin and Dennis continue their discussion about their recent family trip to New Zealand, covering their experiences in the South Island (check out Episode 8 for their discussion about the North Island). During the ‘Movies with Meg’ portion, Meg and Dennis discuss “What About Bob?” and why it will never be remade in today’s culture. Dennis ends the show with some historical odd facts, including why Abraham Lincoln pardoned his sister-in-law and the inglorious death of cowboy movie star Tom Mix.
