In this episode, you will attend the theatre with Mrs. Bram Stoker of Dracula fame, visit the Bridge of No Return in Korea, hear about a suspect in the Jack The Ripper case, and then tour the underground sewers of Paris. You will also hear about the tragic circus fire in 1944 that killed 170 people, and to finish it off, we will tell you about a diary that contained some coded entries which we were able to decipher and brought to our attention the popularity of roller skating in the 1880’s. 
Six little morsels for your listening delight!
