In December, 1915, the San Diego City Council agreed to pay a pale, homespun-gentleman $10,000 if he could make it rain. His name was Charles Hatfield, and the self-proclaimed "Moisture Accelerator" would be blamed for the most devestating flooding in California's recorded history.

Cock and Bull is a somewhat-weekly history podcast about unbelievable characters and shockingly true stories, brought to you by Spencer Foust and Nathan: a sophisticated text-to-speech program.

Cock and Bull is a labor of love, and has neither sponsors nor a network to monetize it. It stays that way purely for the love of the game, and not because we're a "brand risk" or "the wrong fit" for a "Charmin ambassador."
