Episode 64 - Timothy Dexter and three ladies from history who should be remembered

In this episode, Harrison learns about the historic character, Lord Timothy Dexter. Dexter was either a lucky eccentric or a man who knew just what he was doing and had a longing to be accepted by American high society. Despite investing hugely in goods that many people thought were completely pointless and would undoubtedly lose him money, Dexter always seemed to come out on top, earning huge amounts of money. He never found the social acceptance he craved so badly though. Chris meanwhile discovered the lives of three women who really should be more famous than they are. From Agent 355 who was a spy during the American Revolutionary War between American and Britain, to Hedy Lamarr who was a Hollywood actress and the “Mother of WiFi” to Violet Jessop who managed to survive three significant ships sinking, including the RMS Titanic. These women aren’t known to the majority of people, but really should be!
