The Real Peaky Blinders
In this, the first episode of our podcast, The Peaky Blinders were a gang of petty criminals who terrorised the city of Birmingham in the UK at the turn of the 20th century until they were eventually usurped by another gang.
We picked this for our first episode because we are from Birmingham and are fans of the BBC ‘Peaky Blinders’ show and we wanted to see how different the real criminals were to the ones portrayed in the show.
We hope you find their story as fascinating as we did.
