  • Resumen

  • Today we’re going to be talking about postage stamps: the history and origin of them, who uses them and whether or not they’re still relevant in our age of email and mail order deliveries. And, of course, the art of it all and why stamps still matter today. We touch on the controversy of who invented the stamp, the fraud associated with early mail and how the U.S. Postal Service misprinted a commemorative stamp for Swede Dag Hammarskjöld on purpose. Ask the bartender for a couple of Air Mail cocktails and join us as we deliver the goods right here in the bar. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: Sir Rowland Hill The Penny Black The Inverted Jenny J.
