About this episode

This episode revisits the life of Annie Londonderry, exploring her controversial journey around the world on a bicycle and her dual identity as a pioneer and a storyteller.

In this revisit from 2019, we wonder: was Annie Londonderry a flim-flam artist or a true pioneer? Maybe both? Her trip around the world on a bicycle may have been controversial - but she was always up for both an adventure and a tall tale.
