Vaught w/ Capitalisimo","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":6841,"description":"I tend to think of phrenology as a 19th-century phenomenon. In 1902, LA Vaught, late to the party, published 'Vaught's Practical Character Reader', a work seeking to (re)popularise phrenology. Mostly charming drawings and advertisements for phrenology ('it's plain to see!' is a commonly used phrase), it's a fun read, albeit one that is so chaotically set out that it's kinda hard to follow.\n\nCapitalisimo joined me for this episode, helping me to phrenologically and physiognomically analyse various world leaders and luminaries.\n\nNB: This episode is probably best watched as a video, as we examine Vaught's illustrations and carry out phrenological case studies using Google image search.\nCapitalisimo on X: @thecapitalisimo\nTooky's Mag Sidebar: https://www.youtube.com/@tookysmag/podcasts\nDrive Time Movie Night: https://rumble.com/c/c-6180416/livestreams\n\nVERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION\nContact: jack.bcfh@gmail.com\nJack has an upcoming novel called 'Audience Capture', out October 2016 through Bonfire Books!\n\nKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/bookclubfromhell\n\nOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHell\n\nJack's Substack: jackbc.substack.com\n\nLevi's website: www.levioutloud.com\n\nJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9Hscr\n\nWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featured\n\nX: @bookclubhell666\n\nJack on X: @supersquat1\n\nLevi on X: @optimismlevi","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gIzeOHUHs7RZ9ol5IYh_CT1rjubaNPNBix4NumF6on0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI2NDM1LzE3MDcz/NDM4NDktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
