The Penny Dreadful Hour
Narrated Multigenre Anthology
Explicit
This is the podcast that carries you back to the sooty, foggy streets of early-Victorian London when a new issue of one of the “Penny Dreadful” blood-and-thunder story paper comes out!
It’s like an early-Victorian variety show, FEATURING …
— Sweeney Todd …
— Varney, the Vampyre …
— Highwayman Dick Turpin …
— mustache-twirling villains …
— virtuous ballet-girls …
— wicked gamblers …
… and more!
Spiced with naughty cock-and-hen-club songs, broadsheet street ballads, and lots of old Regency “dad jokes.”
This podcast is a mixture of storytelling and discussion segments.

A short explanation of this podcast, which has changed rather a lot in its first six months of life. After listening to this short briefing, you'll know……whether you need to start with Episode One (no)…how to get caught up with what's happened in all the Dreadfuls WITHOUT starting with Episode One (pennydread.com/discord)……where to start listening (last Sunday's will do)……and a few other notes. Thanks a million for checking out my podcast! I hope you will love it.
