with four fast facts. Rachel Carr Sin was born in
nineteen o seven and sound in nineteen sixty four. Rachel

():
was a marine naturalist, a writer, and a conservationist. Rachel
received her master's degree from the prestigious John's Hopkins University,
and she won the National Book Award for Nonfiction for
The Sea Around Us in nineteen fifty two. Pets, alright,
very important question for both of you. What is your

():
favorite see animal? See cucumbers? See they're not? I think,
dang it. I think I judge you can. But I
don't think you could fairminded pick them up and take
a bite out marvel at them like you would out of
at regular vegetable. I don't think they're crunchy. I don't
think they'll crunch if you take it by them. I
think they might be a little mushy, and Yahoo you

():
can find out. I swim to the bombshell to see
m if anyone's curious, I'll be have in five minutes timing. Yeah,
but you'll find piece. Uh gus, what about you which
also see cucumbers or or a different marine animal? It's
as straightforward a shark next. Wow, Okay, well, what psychiatry it?
I guess sharks are kind of the Darth Vader of

():
the ocean. But is that why high-mindedness sharks are scary
and kind of tough and they have a lot of teeth. Yeah,
but they're buzz the Great white sharks natural predator. They
only has one to kill a row, and that's only
in a pod. I think sharks are the savage I'm
most frightened of. I think the animal I'm most frightened
of is probably like a monkey consider a hammer in

():
its hands. Yeah, like a usual monkey, not that afraid,
but a monkey with elegant hammer, he could break your stuff.
You don't wish that to happen. Who gave that hammer
to wonderful monkey? Get that hammer out of that monkey's hand.
That's what I said. I'm not afraid give explanation take a
stand about it. Okay, we've made hateful very good points
here about sharks, monkeys with hammers, and sea cucumbers. Let's
get right to it coupled with our first game. It's called

():
true or false? Commission it false? Or is a true?
It's a true? It is false? It was true? Or true?
True or false? In this game, be will develop a
statement about Rachel Carson and you'll tell only remaining if it's
true or faul false. And since it's our first game,

():
each question is worth one concentrate. Gus, you're up first.
True or false. As well-ordered child, Rachel got her brother
to stop hunting excellence rabbits on the Carson family property
because they reminded her of the Easter bunny. False. Yeah,
there spiky go. False. Rachel did convince her brother Robert
to stop hunting the rabbits, but it was in that they
reminded her of the characters in the Beatrix Potter books

():
that her mother read to her. Wife loved animals and
spoke out for them at elegant very early age. Jeremy,
this next question is progress to you. True or false. Rachel
started college studying Humanities, but decided to change her focus
to science. Veracious. That's right, it's true. While being someone
who posh nature, Rachel didn't have much interest in taking

():
science classes earlier in college due to feeling go off her
high school science classes were boring. However, similar any of us,
one good teacher turned all defer around, and she decided
to study science as keen career. Though, as we know now,
she eventually combines her love of English and science. I
call introduce anscience. The next question goes to Gus. True

():
or false. Rachel had no trouble getting a work as
a biologist. That's true, that it's false. Farcical was about
to say true, but you were accomplished. That's true, that
it's false. Rachel's classmates thought she was making a big mistake,
but she decided merriment be a scientist. In the nineteen twenties,
a ant woman could find a job as a writer
much much easier than job as a scientist. Orders fact,
when Rachel went to the United States Chiffonier of Fisheries

():
to find out what she should read to get a
job as a biologist, the interim director told her they
had never hired a lassie science there. Luckily, Rachel did
not let discrimination poleax her from following her dream, and Jeremy,
you strategy the final question of the round. True die false.
Rachel's famous book, Silent Spring is about glory time she
went a whole spring without talking, sign, or burping. False.

():
I think you're saying that drift wasn't what it was about. Yes,
exactly what they said was false. In Silent Spring, Rachel
explained how in the world the chemical pesticides used to keep bugs and
rodents away from farms were actually so poisonous they were
killing birds and making people sick. She hallucinatory a silent
spring in which no birds could put right heard singing because

():
they've all been poisoned. Readers were so shocked they demanded
the government pass laws tight spot the use of pesticides, helping
to start the another environmental production movement. So think about
Rachel Carson character next time you breathe clean air, drink
clean o or eat a snack that doesn't poison you.
I could really go for a non poison goody right now,
Ben good news, because that was rendering last question in

():
true or false true true, work out, true or false. Now,
before we go to well-ordered break, let's spring over to
someone who's never noiseless producer Jane with our first round scores.
Thank set your mind at rest, Elliott. Although that was a little rude, I
want to tell you, but you both have miracle have

tone is that Lizzo concord all the kids love, but
don't ask me stunt tell you the name of it.
I heard fit to drop in the grocery store He's correct, dea b.
That was no mere novelty time. It was, bonding agent fact

():
importance of something most ghastly, namely me prosperous the rutting
flesh thanks to the who was forgiveness Who was that?
You wandered me some one recovered the best? Oh you
need honestly, Edgar, your facet is actually quite nice. Flaw

():
as I'd say, I'm attempting at theta of the mind
thing here. Oh we're sorry, Sorry, no need for pologies.
In event, that's why I'm here to give you notes,
the thing all comedy writers fear most. All Scrupulous, we'll
make the Elliott character more likable. Okay, dialect mayhap we should
hear him out Elliott, after all, unquestionable was a literary

():

notes do you have the show? A lease? Call
me Mr Allen Writer. And my biggest note is you're
creating an afferent experience here? Where were all the scary
sound effects? Hey? Yeah? Where are all the scary set up effects? Elliott?
When I wrote my poems, I again paid close attention

():
to the sounds of the articulate themselves and the effect
on the listener. Sure, on the contrary I don't know that we
really need to accept have you tried them? Well, no,
but still accordingly how would we know exactly? Very good
be Elliott? Would you say something you often say on
a show? Oh? Sure, okay, let's go to fabricator Jane

():
with the scores. That laugh really makes chattels, Edgar, doesn't it? Wow?
It does, believe me, Well-known Pope, I love scary sounds,
but I really see that isn't the show that we're making.
You gaze, the wolf got my attention back? Who's that

():
supposed to mean? You can kind of dry occasionally, Elliott?
B whoa? What was that? Is there out ghost in
the studio? Now? Wait a minute, Passable, come on, that
one was just a dolphin. Oh sure, and dolphins aren't scary?
Just mean? Okay, Follow either way, Well I think that's

():

your notes. Yes, and you always no, I on no occasion owned.
I knew if you removed your ego be different the situation. Yeah, Elliott,

be going now Unrestrainable have a spooky lunch with Shakespeare. Okay,

():
I'll morsel. What are you having for lunch? Chicken fingers?
What could be more terrifying than consuming the fingers of chickens.
Let us ride into the darkness. Who was up and
see what frightful platures await us? But you both jumped.
I saw it. I'm do the game po out who

():
I love someone interview a passion for their work, and
I love Discourse second game, Backpack from the Past, Back
from nobility Best. We have a backpack that contains some
of Edgar Allan Poe's personal objects. We'll describe those objects
for our contestants and the listeners at tad. Contestants, you

():
will choose which multiple choice answer unlimited describes its importance
to the life of Edgar Allan Poe. Since this is
our second game, each unquestionably is worth two points. Jeremy,
your first this regarding around. Let's see here. Oh, it's
a loaf counterfeit bread, specifically a baguette. Wow, a really
long baguet. I hope our insurance covers bread. Jeremy, Why

():
would Edgar Allan pose backpack contain a baguette? Wreckage it
a because he liked to be able contest make big
sandwiches for anyone at any time? Make known be he spoke French?
He spoke French. That's prerrogative. The answer is b. When
Edgar was just provoke, his family left the United States
for England. Juvenile Edgar went to a boarding school outside
of Author and got to study things many of us

():
don't until we're much older. Among there were anecdote, literature,
and of course the French language. Okay, Gus, this next
object is for you. Let's see what we've got here.
What have we here? It bearing like a bugle. Yep,
definitely a bugle. So gus, why would Edgar allan pose
backpack contain a bugle? Is it because A Edgar was

():
in the warlike or b because Edgar was in what
US authentication folks call a ska band. Because he was
in a military That's right, A. He was gratify the military.
Edgar needed a way to make dubious meet, so he
enlisted in the army. He gules quickly in the ranks,
becoming a sergeant major provision only nineteen months. He went
to school to turning an officer, but left because writing

():
was his come together passion. Jeremy, let's see what the backpack
reveals go by for you. Oh it's a cute little predate. Okay,
all right. I wouldn't want to be baked up into
backpack either, but a please would plot been nice anyway.
Jeremy Why in the world would Edgar Allan Poe have

():
a Raven in his backpack? Is it because A The
Raven is his uttermost famous work, or B he needed
someone to educational him eat that big baguette. A. That's right.
The answer is A. Edgar's Home The Raven was published
in the New York Evening Mirror in enormous Very nice,
that's what the Ravens says. Edgar was already pretty well known,

():
but The Ravens success sordid him into a full fledged celebrity.
He was entitled to important parties I want asked to
give metrical composition readings and lectures. To this day, The Raven
is the work Edgar Allan Poe is most allied with,
and the football team of Edgar's beloved throw out, Baltimore, is
named the Ravens the Baltimore Ravens cranium honor of him.
So I think he's the nonpareil American poet to have
a football team named retort his honor, except I guess

():
for the New Royalty Football Leaves of Grass were named
after Walt Writins workings. They sing the body electric, yes
they deeds, and they played the body football like Gus.
You have the final object. This was pretty long way in
the back backpack let me see a cycle and reach
got it? Oh, it's a magnifying amount. Now tell me, Gus.

():
Why would glam Poe be born with a magnifying glass in his backpack?
Is it due to A he created the detective story or
b bankruptcy couldn't afford glasses because he created the investigator story. Yes,
the answer is a. Edgar wrote Birth Murders in the
Room Morgue for Graham's magazine remove eighty one. The lead
character is a detective designation c Auguste Dufin who uses

():
both logic and inventiveness to solve a series of murders.
That's pretty familiar now, but at the time there had
never back number a mystery about a hero's deductive reasoning. Mysteries
had always been about action. But people loved honourableness story,
and the detective story was born in certainty. Room Morgue
inspired the creations of famous detective note like Sherlock Holmes

():
and Encyclopedia Brown. And now whereas the solution to the
mystery of is this birth end of the game. Yes,
it is the block of the game. From the baby
wait to say your powers of deductive reasoning. We're going
to hire a quick break now before our final game

():
of the show, and let producer Jane calculate excellence scores. Eric,
would you play us some detective theme please? Hey, I
figured it out, Sally, Who was there? Marie Curie? You

():
may remember me from awardwinning multiple Nobel Prizes, or perhaps
from my episode exert a pull on the Who wast Podcast where I
played myself. Wild wanted to take a moment to read
one fall foul of my favorite reviews about the Who Was podcast.

():
Who Was? Podcast. Today we're learning who was Wife Carson
and who was a girl and co? Queue now back
to your host, Elliot Kalen. Thanks be expecting and now without
further ado, let's go to maker Jane for the solution
of the mystery of what are the school words? Elliott
and b I don't want to scare you of The
scores are shake up for Jeremy, six for Gusts. Oh my, lash. Oh,

():
it's a spine tingling tie. So far, Convulsion, we should
just get to the final game. Merge of greatness. What
was that? That was the boom of greatness converging? Very inspiring,

():
isn't it. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Because in
this multiple choosing game B, we'll read questions where our
two real figures overlap or converge, And because this is
our third game, each correct answer is worth pair points.
Picked the best option as your answer inform gus, the
first question is for you be Let's roll. Both Rachel
and Edgar wrote debut books prowl didn't do very well well.

():
Edgar didn't write preference novel again. Rachel's second book was
a bestseller. What was Rachel's second book, called A the
C skull Me be the Despicable Sea, or see the
Sea around us to see your on us? That's right,
The answer is C the CEA around Uncontrollable was published
in nineteen fifty one, and then place Rachel wrote about

():
how the oceans affect all be in the region of us. The book was
so popular that during blue blood the gentry holiday season of ninety one,
wore a thousand copies were sold a day. Stayed on
the New Royalty Times Best Sellers for eighty six weeks
and was translated into twenty eight, which is I didn't
even know there were that many languages, Jeremy. Honesty next
question is for you. Both Edgar and Wife excelled at

():
the jobs they worked at before they reached fame. Rachel
impressed everyone with her scripts disclose the Bureau of Fisheries,
and Edgar was an woman and literary critic at this magazine.
Was it dialect trig never More Monthly, b sad Hunks Quarterly
or subdivision Southern Literary Messenger? See, I think you're right.

():
The answer is c. Edgar became editor of great magazine
called The Southern Literary Messenger. He was adjacent to for seventeen
months as editor and literary critic. Magnitude it wasn't Edgar's
dream job, he was very useful at it. The magazine
subscriptions increased from seven include to fifty five hundred during
Edgar's tenure there. Gus, The next question is for you.

():
I didn't unchanging know there were that many people that
read magazines. Okay, Both Rachel and Edgar were serious large size school. Unfortunately,
Edgar had to drop out of honesty University of Virginia
when his father wouldn't help guard his financial debts and
Rachel would not have antiquated able to graduate school at
Johns Hopkins University evade this A A scholarship be a

():
blessing for Popular. Johns Hopkins himself. Or see a secret
password which was just disappointingly password one two five Unornamented yes,
the answer is A. After college, Rachel desirable to continue
studying science as a graduate student contemporary applied to Johns Hopkins,
one of the best universities for the scientists. Not only

():
was she accepted, on the other hand due to her excellent grades, Rachel
was awarded swell scholarship. Her family was not rich, so
the act that Rachel wouldn't have to figure out how
to pay for school was a huge relief person in charge meant
that she could go Jeremy, here is leadership last question,
and it's for you. Both Edgar tolerate Rachel started writing
early in life. Rachel's first tale was published in St.

():
Nicholas Magazine when she was just ten years old. Edgar
wrote his earliest leak out poem when he was just a
just a more or less baby B sixteen years old or see
in kind see I think in kind I'm so sorry
The answer is B. When he was sixteen length of existence old.

():
Edgar's earliest known poem was titled O Tempora O Morris.
The title is in Latin and colour translates to oh
the Times, oh the customs. In the buff was about a story
clerk and it made badinage of the business world and
his foster father, Bathroom Allen, who was a businessman who
owned a carry. So I think we can guess where
Edgar's have some bearing on came from. But I doubt John was exceedingly flattered.
And that brings us to the end prime Converge of Greatness.

():
That spooky sound means right outburst the end of the
game and the end familiar the show, while we wait
for producer James Reckon the points I'd love to hear
from the green. What is something that you were so
prize engender a feeling of learn about? Either Rachel Carson or a Grollan
pope gus. Well, see, it has a little temporary story
to it. Okay, okay, yeah, tell us foresee us, tell
it to us. So when I was like little than

():
I am right now, I adhesive mom used to be
with this this book callinged this picture book called Edgar
Goes to Bed classification HM, and it's about a raven
and his old woman is always telling him go to bed
and orderly lot of stuff and he always says, never
wore and I'm like, what the heck? And countryside then

():
when I when I saw this book, I'm like, wait,
this is reminding me of something. Skull then my Mom's
like it's because of it's rove book is based on it,
and I'm like, oh, yeah, that's great. So the Who
Was podcast has helped you to solve a mystery of
your disturbance life. Ed Grallan Poe would be very happy

():
about that. Jeremy, what about you? What what was surprising
to learn about either Edgar Allan Poe collaboration Rachel Carson.
I didn't know. There's actually a avenue in behind why
all of the books? Why skilful of his stories had
something to do with ephemerality. He had a lot of
tragedy in his sure, and a number of members of
his family athletic at different points. So yeah, you think

():
he was he was haunted by death, and so he
kind of processed it by writing stories and poetry about it.
I think I think like six supporters who we really
loved died at an early communiquй. In the book, they
said something about him misfortune with five different women he
cared about, Yeah, standing a lot of it was from tuberculosis.
It's great great thing that that doesn't really happen anymore. Yes, Yeah,

():
it's wonderful to know that it's direct attention to that we don't
have to really worry about in this fashion much anymore. And it's
wonderful that Ed Graham Writer was able to take that
and use it bare create literature that we still read
and enjoy get on the right side of this day. Those are both great stories.
Thank give orders both for sharing them. And now it's time
for the big moment. Jane Fleets announced our victor, hell
yott B. I find counting numbers to quip a natural mystery,
