About this listen
Non-musical history for today: 1890 – Nellie Bly completed her round-the-world journey in 72 days. She set out to prove (or actually beat) the Phineas Fogg feat in Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days. She did not do it via a hot air balloon. She did it via a steamship. Another woman tried, almost simultanesly to do it going the opposite direction, but Nellie came back first. Doing it in eight days fewer than Fogg. That was a world record until George Train (who had done the trip once before) broke it in 67 days and a third time in 60 days. But he was a man, and he could get away with doing whatever he wanted. She was, obviously, a woman and still did bad ass things, usually on her own.
