100: The Zeppelin: From Fantasy to Reality

Hello! In this week's episode (The 100th episode!) we are taking a look at the History of Zeppelins. Over the course of today's episode we will take a look as one man's fantastical design managed to persevere following disaster after disaster. The story of the Zeppelin is one that is full of many ups and downs, mostly down's, and in this episode we will look at how the design, though minimally changed, came to be the one that we all know and love.  In this episode I mention Epsiode 96, which is on the History of the Hot Air Balloon. Here is a link to that episode: https://www.itsahistorypodcast.com/hot-air-balloons-paper-balloons-hot-air-vs-gas-and-modern-ballooning/   Sources for today's episode include:   Monsters: The Hindenburg Disaster and the Birth of Pathological Technology by Edward Regis  If you would like to send me any questions, comments, or ideas for future podcast episodes please email me at [email protected].
