46. The USS Akron Airship Ghost
Explicit

Is This a Ghost? by Clayton Smith and Patrick Dean

Episode notes

Boy. Dirigibles. Was there every so much promise that was met with such constant disaster? Those beautiful, transportational gasbags really led troubled lives, didn't they? And because they couldn't just keep it together for a few more decades, we now have Spirit Airlines. Thanks a lot, tragedy.

This is the story of the USS Akron airship ghost. Come for the ghost, stay for the Roarin' Depression, the Joad family jokes, the Hindenburg Hiccup, trapeze eroticism, delicious humanity, and the most effective 75-person drowning machine.
