Introducing Nikola Tesla
Part visionary, part mad scientist, and absolute genius, Tesla should be as famous as Edison – but he’s been largely forgotten. Kurt talks with Samantha Hunt about her new novel The Invention of Everything Else. Tesla is the protagonist, and despite the outlandish biographical details all through the book, there was very little she had to make up.
Episode also includes sections on:
Tesla vs. Edison

Tesla and Twain
Mr. Spock and Dr. Strangelove
The Death Ray
Wanted: Bold Thinkers
