Transatlantic History Ramblings discovers Rose

Our friends at the Transatlantic History Ramblings podcast have devoted an episode to Houdini's favorite spook spy Rose Mackenberg. Joining Lauren Davies and Brian Young is YouTuber Ash Pryce who recently posted a video about Rose on his channel Spooky History. I also join the gang for the discussion...with oranges! So click here and enjoy the fun.

    I LOVE ROSE MACKENBERG! Is there a definitive reference that reveals how and when she met Houdini, how the Secret Service was trained, etc. what a fascinating aspect to Houdini History.

      I wouldn't call it definitive, but there is Tony Wolf's Houdini’s Girl Detective, made up of Rose's own writings.
