Ridiculous History is a production of IHeart Radio. Welcome back to the show, fellow ridiculous historians.

Thank you, as always, so much for tuning in.

We're not wearing hockey pads.

Big shout out to our guest producer, Dylan the chainsaw of Fagan.

Is that your scary voice, Ben? Oh, that's actually my regular voice. I'm hitting from a helium

balloon. I love it. Oh, man. That is a real commitment to the bed. And I respect and appreciate that.

You are Ben. In fact, and I am Noel,

and this is ridiculous history, right? Yes, yes, that's us from earlier. We had such a fantastic

exploration of the triumvirate history of the phrase Bloody Mary. And I think we were both

surprised by the unexpected turns that exploration took.

And now we're talking about another story with a lot of hidden history behind it,

one of the most popular comic characters of all time, everybody's favorite billionaire,

Bruce Wayne, aka Batman.

It's coming to us from our Research Associate extraordinaire, Andrea.

I don't think we've bestowed a nickname yet. Maybe we'll workshop that one.

The last one we did from Andrea was about the origins of the word poluka,

and that had some awesome comics, comics lore and history associated with it.

And today is no different because it is introducing us to a character that many folks who are not deep comics nerds might not be familiar with,

a guy named Milton Bill Finger.

Yeah, Finger is an interesting search.

It really is.

This is an I IHeart podcast.
