Welcome to Tangentville—Population: 2! In this episode we delve into the history of gorgeous Ward Hall, just outside of Georgetown in Scott County. The Ward/Johnson family has a fascinating, albeit often dark and turbulent, place in the history of Kentucky; their story showcases so much that is both wonderful and terrible about our amazing state. Ward Hall is open for tours on the first two weekends of each month and is well worth a visit.

This episode features Professor Jay D. Brock, who is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Chair of the Department of Music Performance, Stage Director in the Rome School of Music, Drama, and Art at The Catholic University of America (CUA). Professor Brock is also the director of the play Next to Normal which was staged from February 18-20th 2022 in Ward Hall at CUA. Moreover, Professor Brock shares details about Next to Normal and what it takes into directing a theatrical musical production.

Bruce Snowdon was born on 19th February 1946 in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. At 19 years old, Snowdon weighed nearly 250lbs and by age 23, 350lbs. He had piled on a lot of weight and by the time he was 25 he was a bloated behemoth tipping the scales at a whopping 450lbs. He contacted Ward Hall who ran the World of Wonders sideshow and the rest as they say, is history. Ward would introduce him by saying; "He's so big it takes four girls to hug him and a box car to lug him. When he dances you'll swear he must be full of jelly, cause jam don't shake like that. Ladies! He is single and lookin' for a wife - he's so fat, he'll provide you with a lot of shade in the summer time, he'll keep you nice and warm in the winter time and give you lots of lovin' all the time!” Ward also gave him his first stage name "Harold Huge” although he also performed under the moniker ' Howard Huge' and ‘Big Bruno'. In 2002 he retired from show business all together and on 9th November 2009, Harold Huge's gluttonous lifestyle came to an end, and he passed away at a nursing home in Saint Petersburg, Florida, aged 64. ✅ Let's connect: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/unusualweekly​ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/unusualweekly​ Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/unusualweekly​ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/unusualasusual​ Fact Analysis: Although careful research is implemented to assure accurate and correct information, sometimes it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction (or ‘humbug', as P.T.

Today we take a huge deviation for the type of topic we typically cover here on Timesuck. The Space Lizards on Patreon vote on two topics a month through the app, and for today, they voted in my grandfather who passed away back on December 23rd. Probably the most influential person in my life. Today, I cover how the Hall family ended up in Idaho which leads to a history of Idaho settlement. My great-great-grandfather was one of the area's first homesteaders. I also share a lot of stories from my childhood, about central Idaho, and of course Papa Ward. I take you on a timeline of this man's wonderful, inspiring life. He meant a Hell of a lot to me and always will, and I think you'll like the tale of his impressive life.
