We're back folks! Sorry for the long Hiatus. Today we covered the wild story of Daniel Sickles, US congressman, war hero, and temporarily insane murderer. Please let us know if there are any stories you'd like us to cover via email or Instagram DMs. Also-apologies for the lack of intro or outro music, Spotify has updated their editing hub and we're still figuring it out.

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for tuning in. Today we talked about Phineas Gage, the 1800's railroad foreman who ended up with a tamping rod up the skull and survived. This story is insane and it shows exactly why you don't use a sample size of one to prove a point. Thanks again for hanging out with us and we'll see you with more Culper ring soon!
