Our latest podcast, produced and presented in May 2018 by Susan Stone.
Listen to the now-familiar tones of co-host Katy Derbyshire telling you all about a dead Berliner, Germany’s first lady balloonist and parachutist Kaethe Paulus. Plus our other host, Florian Duijsens, with some bodacious book tips.
Also available on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts, RadioPublic, and other podcast purveyors.
Show notes:
Here’s Kaethe Paulus doing her audacious thing.
Here’s one of the streets named after her, out near Berlin’s one-day future airport.
And here’s Kaethe’s baby-daddy, balloonist and lady’s man Hermann Lattemann. For sideburn fans.
And here’s Kaethe with one of her more outlandish flying contraptions.
Plus a couple of links to Florian’s book recommendations: Here’s the interview he mentions about the reissue of Elsa Lanchester, Herself, which also led him to reading the memoirs of Tallulah Bankhead, Ann Miller’s Miller’s High Life, and Shelley Winters. The excerpt is from the latter’s second memoir, Shelley II.
Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.
Thanks for listening! Check back in June for our next episode.
