For over 200 episodes now, Dave Anthony, Gareth Reynolds, and a plethora of comedy’s best and brightest have gone through the weirdest, most overlooked chapters of history on the hit podcast The Dollop.
Many of the stories that they riff over seem so incredulous that you might want some corresponding images, which might leave those with a weak mind’s eye high and dry.
Luckily, The United States of Absurdity: Untold Stories from American History by Anthony and Reynolds will fill that very need going over their signature dives into bizarre historical nooks and crannies with accompanying illustration as well as trivia and timelines.
The book doesn’t come out until May 9th, 2017, but you can (and should) pre-order it now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Google Books, and Indie Bound.
