Houdini on NPR

Check out this story on NPR about Houdini and Hardeen. I'm honored to say I was asked to help out on this segment. I was able to clarify some information and provided photos from my own collection. Got a nice credit for myself and my blog.

BTW, the recording of Houdini's voice that plays at 3:23 is a NEW recording that's never been made public before. Very close to the recording that we all know and love (and is played later in the segment), but he's using different words here. I lost it when I heard this!

BTW, my own "85 Years Ago" post -- complete with pics of Houdini's hospital death room.

Thanks for the post, John. I found the NPR interview quite interesting.
