ShortHand: APRIL FOOLS

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

The results of a well-meaning prank can range from the goofy, to the embarrassing, to the downright life-threatening… As the annual all-out prankfest rolls back around, we take a look at the history of April Fools’ Day, with a slightly rambling route around hoaxes, public deceptions and colossal capers.

From historic japes, to an entire city-wide evacuation of 13,000 people fleeing alien invasion – and an ambush by armed police who are “ready for f**king war” – here’s the stunt-filled ShortHand.
