Touched by a Goddess (Eureka moments week) - That Was Genius - Episode 2

Eureka! Moments of genius is the topic this week, which features the accidental discovery of rubber (aka your Dad's dirty secret), and Odysseus returning from the Trojan wars to find 100 blokes after his wife (aka Kill Bill, and his 99 mates as well).

Welcome to That Was Genius: A weekly podcast looking at the weirder side of history. Two blokes. A 12-hour time difference. An immature sense of humour. And 10,000 years of human civilisation.

Join Sam Datta-Paulin (he likes history and lives in Britain) and Tom Berry (he also likes history but lives in New Zealand), for a weekly reflection on the bold, the brilliant... And the downright strange.

From bizarre events and stories to equally odd inventions, barely a day goes by without something incredible (or incredibly stupid) happening around the world.

We upload new episodes every Wednesday night (UK time).
