This week we deep dive into how turn of the century celebrity conman Death Valley Scotty came to get a castle built in the desert and how Dutch artist Willem Arondeus helped destroy the Amsterdam public records office, saving countless queer people and Jews from being identified by the occupying Nazi army. A listener email explains how the English weren't the only ones to eat mummies.
