Who What When: Famous Failures

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. This week on Who What When, we’re discussing famous failures throughout history. We’ll chat about inventions that didn’t stand the test of time, look at the trials and tribulations famous people went through before hitting it big, and hear three stories about weapons from World War II that bombed (sometimes literally).
