Content of the Lesson: Weird clubs like Project Steve and the Putney High Tide Club exist for perfectly logical reasons. Other strange groups and secret associations, on the other hand—from The Bohemian Club to the Extreme Ironing Bureau— are a bit harder to explain. Erin (@erincmccarthy) breaks down those unusual clubs and more in this episode of The List Show. You’ll learn the answer to pressing questions, like “How do I join the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists?” And “What goes on at the Bohemian Grove?” …Sort of. You’ll also find out why the membership requirements for the Association of Dead People aren’t quite what you might think. Spontaneous Brits and despondent architects will want to watch. In case you forgot, The List Show is a trivia-tastic, fact-filled show for curious people.
