Ep #11: Thomas Edison maybe killed a guy and other enlightening Edison tales | Dark History Podcast

When people think of American innovation, one name always comes up: Thomas Edison. But, just like everything else in our series, there’s a dark side to Tommy boy. Today, Bailey reveals a story that shines Edison in a different light, a more unflattering one filled with buried tales of greed, fame, dishonesty and, dare she say, murder.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history.

I’m 71 and my daughter told me to watch you. As someone who went to Woodstock- you have the vibrant soul of one who wants meaningful change Bailey
-
Hi Bailey! Can you please cover the story of Henrietta Lacks? Her immortal cells are one of the reasons why our medicine became so advanced and yet she was not given any credit until years later! It really is a fascinating story :) Update: She finally covered it!!!!
-
“I know, a lot of ad breaks, I see you guys complaining about it but you’re not paying the bills around here THESE ADS ARE” Say it with your whole chest Bailey. Love iiiiiiiitttt. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
-
We need a Tesla episode! His history is definitely dark
-
I'm actually sad that you didn't bring up the whole Nikola Tesla/Thomas Edison rivalry and how everyone is pretty sure Edison killed Tesla
-
Thomas “warm milk” Edison Andrew “bath salts” Jackson Bailey “makes out with her shower wall” Sarian
-
I highly recommend doing a dark history covering “holy anorexia” and the “Miraculous Maidens”. The entire history of EDs is mind boggling. Several Women gained sainthood for such behaviors despite it being a feminist action against arranged marriages.
-
We should stop looking at Thomas as the greatest inventor ever. And really honor those who came up with the idea. It's 2021 why not.
-
Bailey exposing shady icons of history and spilling ancient tea is the highlight of my week.
-
This reminds me a lot of Rosalind Franklin! The woman who actually discovered how DNA worked but men over ruled her! Would love to see a video on her
-
'Jump off the hero train, and all aboard the train that's duct taped together and looks very questionable!' This is my new daily quote and I'm using it forever.
-
Why wasn't TESLA a big part of this, UNLESS we will be seen a whole chapter dedicated to him
-
I waited for the “lightbulb moment” joke. 10/10 did not disappoint.
-
I’m confident that I would have passed history if Bailey was the teacher. 🤯🤗😍 love you lots
-
It's unbelievable how many people are tuning in to hear about things they (let's be honest) normally would not have cared to learn about. You are making such an impact, and you're freaking hilarious!!! Keep on keepin' on you off the chain human being!
-
Used his deafness to avoid people. Relatable. “Oh you yelled over down the hallway? Oh I never heard it so sorry”
-
Who’s complaining about the ads… do y’all not wanna see Bailey’s content?! Bc she needs the ads!! She’s a creator, and should be properly paid for these BOMB videos we all love!! 💛
-
Meanwhile Tesla was harnessing free energy. It's a no-brainer why kids grow up thinking Edison invented everything and Tesla is the name of a car. It's all about media image. Very great presentation Bailey!
-
I'm loving all the comments about Tesla not being mentioned. But I can't stop smiling cause she's wearing a Bowie t-shirt who PLAYED Tesla. Hearing the director talk about how important it was to cast someone with gravitas like Bowie to play Tesla was crucial is what made me look into Tesla in the first place
-
“Hold the phonograph, Edison” isn’t getting enough recognition here in these comments 😂
