229 - The Eiffel Tower

Sinopse

The most visited monument in the world, The Eiffel Tower wasn't always popular. Built for the 1889 World's Fair, it was an ambitious project - the tallest structure in the world at the time - almost doubling the previous record holder. On this episode we talk about the tower's inception, the protest against it, its time as a giant billboard as well as Franz Reichelt the "Flying Tailor," who tested his parachute suit by jumping from the tower.Tickets to our live shows in MELBOURNE here: https://dogoonpod.com/events/Matt is performing his new stand up show MONKEY HOUSE in BRISBANE March 10-15 and MELBOURNE March 26-April 19, find more details/get tickets here: https://mattstewartcomedy.com/gigs (use the code 'podcast' for a 20% discount)Jess is performing her debut solo stand up show ALMOST in MELBOURNE March 26-April 19, get tickets here: https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2020/shows/almost (use the code 'podcast' for a 20% discount)Our website: dogoonpod.comSupport the show and get rewards like bonus episodes:
