Underverdenen har det med at stikke sit fæle ansigt frem i ny og næ. Senest i form af dekadente banditter i habitter og ikke mindst skuddrab på gaden af tidligere bandemedlemmer, som taler underverdenen ret imod. Og de fleste af os har et klart billede af underverdenen. Det er et dekadent, voldeligt, loyalt, farefuldt spændingsfelt befolket af stærke, handlekraftige, psykisk ustabile, nydelsessyge mennesker som laver deres egne regler, love og hierarkier uden for - eller under - det samfund vi andre lever i. Fiktionens underverdener har altid set ud på en særlig måde; Frits Langs Berlin, Dickens' London, von Triers gustengule Europa, Will Eisners New York. Måske ser virkelighedens underverden også sådan ud - måske gør den slet ikke. Hvis ikke, hvor mødes de to så? Medvirkende: Jesper Stein, krimiforfatter og tidligere kriminalreporter. Line Richter, post doc. ved Institut for Antropologi på KU, specialist i illegal migration og menneskesmugling. Tilrettelægger og vært: Carsten Ortmann. (Sendt første gang 26. november 2018).

One last trip to Dickens' London before the holiday comes to a close. ( FYI THIS EPISODE contains ambient audio) Slip into sleep as I stroll in search of a jilted bride. We won't be eating any cake, but there will be layers of pillowy boredom interwoven with frosted tangents.

In 1810 someone told hundreds of London merchants that Mrs. Tottenham at 54 Berners Street had requested their services. She hadn't. For a full day the street was packed with crowds of deliverymen struggling to reach a single door -- and the practical joker was never caught. In this episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll hear descriptions of the chaos in Berners Street and meet Theodore Hook, the man who probably planned the whole thing. We'll also revisit the mysterious corpse found on an Australian beach in 1948 and puzzle over an octopus stuck in a tree.
