Secretly Incredibly Fascinating - BONUS SHOW 150: "Two Highly-Requested Stories About Not-Taxidermy And Not-Ducks"
This is the bonus show for Episode 150! (The Number 150)
Alex Schmidt and Katie Goldin explore the obviously incredibly fascinating topics of Egyptian animal embalming, and Wisconsin's "Duck Boats".
Also: we have a future gift for you! Our artist pal Adam Koford is drawing a new anniversary poster, just for supporters of SIF, to celebrate Episodes 101-150. It'll be ready later this summer. In the meantime, you can enjoy Adam's posters for Eps. 1-50 and Eps. 51-100 anytime. Visit https://maximumfun.org/boco/ and use your password ("stickwithus") to access the online vault of all things MaxFun BoCo. You'll find Adam's posters in the vault's set of Secretly Incredibly Fascinating goodies.
