Great Hoaxes: The Time People Believed There Were Praying Man-Bats on the Moon

Tanya talks to Matthew Goodman, author of The Sun and the Moon: The Remarkable True Account of Hoaxers, Showmen, Dueling Journalists and Lunar Man-Bats in Nineteenth Century New York. The story is crazier than you can believe and no description here will do it justice. Enjoy the show.

About the Podcast

Battletested with Tanya Acker

A podcast about common sense and other things that last.

We’ve all been hit by something hard when we didn’t expect it. We’ve come through battles of every kind - personal, professional, national - and still are fighting some of them. What have we learned from them - and what can our past battles teach us about how to live in the present moment? New episodes of BATTLETESTED air every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
