52m · Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show · 17 Mar 07:02

Actor, writer and social activist, Ian Ruskin trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and is a veteran of stage and screen. Performing his one man show for audiences around the world, Ian brings to life the stories of remarkable and often misunderstood, true-life heroes, including Nikola Tesla and Thomas Paine.

Thomas Paine, considered the father of the American Revolution, was so despised that his ashes were placed in the heels of shoes worn by English nobility to be walked on. 

Nikola Tesla charged the world with AC electric, never married and had a deep relationship with a female pigeon. 

Just two mind-blowing tidbits we learn about these rule breakers and history makers.

The episode Ian Ruskin as Thomas Paine and Nikola Tesla from the podcast Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show has a duration of 52:45. It was first published 17 Mar 07:02. The cover art and the content belong to their respective owners.
