K is for Kings: Emperor Norton I & Caligula
Manage episode 289364775 series 2877253
This week Casey and Karen go to the way back and the way way back. Casey covers Norton the 1st, a self proclaimed Emperor of the United States (surprisingly more well received than you would think). And Karen talks about the complete creep Caligula.
