A Short History Of: The Real Peaky Blinders
About this episode
Hosted by John Hopkins, Short History Of is a transportive podcast, taking you back in time to witness history’s most remarkable events. Today, get the true story behind the legend that inspired the hit TV series. Between the 1890s and 1910s, the British city of Birmingham was in the grip of a gang: the Peaky Blinders. But were they really champions of the working class, driven by a code of loyalty and morality? Or was theirs simply a reign of terror, marked by dishonour and violence?
Short History Of is a Noiser production. New episodes every Monday!
Written by Luke Kuhns. With thanks to Professor Carl Chinn, social historian and author of Peaky Blinders: The Real Story
