#13 - Batman: Gotham by Gaslight: Combining Steam Punk, Jack the Ripper and Victorian engineering

How can a podcast about the real history behind pop culture resist a Victorian era Batman? This one gets as dark as the dark knight. We have Jack the Ripper, H.H. home’s murder hotel and an animated movie not suitable for kids. There’s even a story of a filed concept in early forensic science that will leave you scratching your head how anybody could think it was likely to work. On the more fun side we find out about Chicago’s rivalry with Paris and how America accidentally invented a common theme park ride in an attempt to rival the Eiffel Tower.Written & Presented by Jem DuducuProduced by Dan MorelleMusic: Bat For Lashes - PrescillaBe awesome, support us on PatreonSubscribe to the podcast on iTunes and follow us on Twitter.
