The Miracle Water That Glowed
In the early 1900s, radium is the miracle of the age. It glows. It gives off heat. And people are drinking it by the cupful, rubbing it on their faces, and sleeping in pajamas laced with radioactive dye. In this Betcha Didn’t Know, Armon J. Newton follows the rise of Radithor — a one-dollar tonic promising the power of the atom — and the millionaire golfer who drank fourteen hundred bottles of it. What it did to his body is hard to hear. What it was still doing decades after his burial is harder.

Smoked Pork Chops & Greens on El Gordo
Bob Woodall is back in the stunt kitchen with the Wok Man, Wiley McNeil—and this time, the disc pan earns its keep. Wiley calls this one El Gordo, an upcycled John Deere plow disc he dug out of a fence row, big enough to sear a mess of smoked pork chops from Selwiga Meat Company up in Headland, Alabama. Add fresh mustard and turnip greens, strawberry sweet onions, and a skillet of jalapeño-cheddar cornbread, and you’ve got a plate two country boys would call home.
