The Ridiculous Crime Podcast

This is Ridiculous Crime, a podcast about absurd and outrageous capers, heists and cons. Today, I'd like to tell you about one of the most sinister threats we've ever survived. A Chicago newspaper in 1940 wanted to do the good thing and warn its readers that Superman heroics, voluptuous females and scanty attire,. blazing machine guns, hooded justice and cheap political propaganda were to be found on almost every page. And yet that scared people. There were these supermans and Wonder Woman that they just didn't understand what the kids saw in them, right? Now they compared this to what they did know.
