Episode #034 - Energy Warz

from Things That Keep Me Up at Night

WARNING: This episode contains highly graphic mentions of animal abuse and electrocution. Please listen responsibly and keep your mental health in mind. Welcome to the wild wild west of snake oil salesmen, except it was actually during the Industrial Revolution. Today Olivia kicks us off by talking about the not-inventor of the light bulb himself - Thomas Edison, the OG terrible billionaire (Bezos...). Think you know everything about the Edison/Tesla debacle? Guess again! Turns out, Thomas Edison is just a human being like the rest of us, except he's terrible. Feat. Topsy the unfortunate elephant, a metronome of hate, and old timey capitalist propaganda.
