The Infernal Machine
from Tales of History and Imagination · host Simone Whitlow
Trigger Warning: The following episode discusses a mass shooting. I’ve left all the foley sounds out and do my best to treat the subject matter with reverence - but if in doubt it’s fine to miss this one - I’ll be back in a fortnight with a tale of some big cats… This week we travel from 1835 France, to Paris’ Boulevard du Temple (made famous in 1839 by Louis Daguerre for a different type of shooting), to The US Civil War, to the British seaside town of Southampton in the late 1870s. The one thread between these tales? An Infernal Machine…. The blog post of the episode is here. Support the show on Patreon for just $2 a month and get access to exclusive content.
