Escape From Greektown - Episode 29 of This Gun in My Hand - Kostenloses Hörbuch

Why listen to boring old radio detectives wrestling each other for control of a gun and having car chases, when you can hear chariot chases and Greco-Roman wrestling for control of a gun? Find out in “Escape From Greektown!”

“Escape from Greektown,” episode 29 of This Gun in My Hand, was painted on the side of a clay jug by Rob Northrup. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, information on how to subscribe, and to buy my books. What does not taste as good as baklava? This Gun in My Hand!

Show Notes:

1. I put “What would make you listen?” into Google Translate (English to Greek), and it came back with “Τι θα σε έκανε να ακούσεις;” which I tried to pronounce at the very opening of this episode before saying This Gun in My Hand.

2. “EVERYTHING WE SELL SUCKS” is a sign I saw in front of a real local vacuum shop.

3. The image for this episode depicts Persian scythed chariots, not Greek chariots. I am prepared to give you a full refund of your payment for this free episode if the lack of verisimilitude left you unsatisfied.
