The legendary rivalry between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla makes for great internet drama, but almost none of it is true. In this bonus episode, Jamie Dobson digs into the historical record to separate fact from meme mythology, uncovering a story far more human and far more interesting than the fan-fiction version that dominates the web. From Paris workshops to New York dynamos, from mutual admiration to misremembered autobiography, this is the real relationship between two of history’s most celebrated inventors; and how a comic strip, a museum campaign, and the internet turned them into enemies they never were.
