Totally Bombed is the podcast where I invite on performers to talk about all the times they've TOTALLY BOMBED!

In 1910, Medicine Hat was booming thanks to natural gas drilling. To promote this, city leaders contemplated changing the city's name to Gasburg. That never happened thanks to British author Rudyard Kipling. This is the story. 📸 Hulton Archive 🧵 1/6

Rudyard Kipling seated indoors in a formal portrait, shown in profile. He has a bald head with hair at the sides, a thick mustache, and wears round eyeglasses. He is dressed in a dark suit with a high-collared shirt and tie. His head is turned slightly to the side, looking off-camera, with a blurred interior background behind him.
