132. Debunking Mr. Toad: Myths, Stories & Secrets of Mr. Toad's Countryside - Mr. Toad Part 6
Description
There are a few things everyone seems to believe about the layout of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride--but none of them are true.
On this episode of Distory, we're merrily on our way to nowhere in particular
to understand the English countryside in Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride in a greater historical context. After we encounter a few bobbies (and discuss their manners and wardrobe), we dig deep into the context of Wind in the Willows and how it inspired the art we see for Ratty's House. As we fly around the corner toward the farmer and his sheep, Kate gets on her soapbox and debunks one of the biggest lies ever told about Mr. Toad. Kirk shares some portside foreshadowing, Kate explains why the Tower Bridge is included in this attraction, Kirk sings some AC/DC, and Kate gets nerdy with typography as this episode goes out with a bang.
