Telephone Week: The Undertaker Who Developed Automatic Phone Dialing

This week we're replaying episodes that are anything but phoned in. For this episode from November 2021, the first automatic dial network happened because of a business dispute between two undertakers. Plus: the story of John Baxter Taylor, Jr, the first Black American to win an Olympic gold medal.
