The Penny Dreadful Hour: A Feast of Early-Victorian Street Literature and Stories
About
This is the podcast that carries you back to the sooty, foggy streets of early-Victorian London when a new issue of one of the "Penny Dreadful" blood-and-thunder story paper comes out!
It's like an early-Victorian variety show, FEATURING ...
— Sweeney Todd ...— Varney, the Vampyre ... — Highwayman Dick Turpin ... — Spring-Heel'd Jack ...— mustache-twirling villains ...— virtuous ballet-girls ...—wicked gamblers ...... and more!
Spiced with naughty cock-and-hen-club songs, broadsheet street ballads, and lots of old Regency "dad jokes."
