363 - The Deadly Dole Air Race

On a foggy Tuesday morning in 1927, 75,000 to 100,000 people stood at Oakland Airport to see off 8 planes on a daring air race from California to Hawaii. But the race was ill fated, before it even began - this is the story of the Deadly Dole Ari Race, the 9th most voted for topic for Blocktober 2022!

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 06:50 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
