RETRO 127 Penny Dreadful


Listen Later

Thanksgiving and the World Cup conspired to interfere with the recording schedule. So you get a RETRO episode. Dan finds the Christmas season to be the spookiest of all, so he has selected episode 127: Penny Dreadful as this week's topic. It originally aired October 6, 2021.

Dan is an uncultured swine and did not know what a Penny Dreadful was. Shauna educates him and explores the origins of and alternative names to this popular literary phenomenon from the 1800s. Special thanks to Victorian Britain for making this episode possible.
