Sara and Danny cover the story of Norman Baker, the magician who later claimed to have the cure for cancer. They start off by exploring his background as a vaudeville performer, inventor, and tramp machinist (yes, that’s a real profession). They talk about his time as the original Joe Rogan hosting his own radio broadcasting show called KTNT “Know The Naked Truth” - if only he was born 98 years later. Finally they chat about how he secured fame as well as state and federal prison terms by promoting a supposed cure for cancer.
