Coffee With Jeff

In 1888, Nellie Bly was the most successful reporter in America, but she needed a vacation. She decided to take a working vacation, a trip around the world. Not only would she write about her adventures, but she would also try to complete the journey in under 80 days, beating the time of Jules Verne’s fictional hero, Phileas Fogg. This episode is the story of her journey.Links to the Sources I used to write the episodeAround the World in Seventy-Two Days by Nellie BLY AudiobookNellie Bly: Around the World in 72 Days - Decades TV NetworkNellie Bly’s Record-Breaking Trip Around the World Was, to Her Surprise, A RaceAround the World in Seventy-Two Days by Nellie BlyNellie's Big Adventure - American Experience★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
