Alfred Krupp was a lot of things. A businessman. A genius inventor. An arms dealer. When it came to steel, especially steel cannons, there was no other.
But behind the accolades lays a very strange and curious man. A man who smelled horse poop for it restorative powers. A man that was afraid of breathing his own breath. A man that was afraid of fire, yet owned a foundry.
Join us as we explore the 19th century freak, Alfred Krupp!

Garbage Andy throws some shrimp on the barbie and joins us in the Outback: The land of criminals, Mad Max, Steve Irwins and the majestic Bin Chicken. The character and spirit of this upside-down country is most embodied in the spirit of Ned Kelly. Ned lived fast and died young as a very distinctively Australian Robin Hood. Most of his mishaps involved accidental homoerotic scraps, nonchalant armed robbery and even a guns blazing shoot-out complete with iron body armor.

Felon and drunkard David Marshall Williams found himself in and out of prison most of his life. You see, the one thing he loved more than moonshine was making homemade guns and killin'. His luck changed when Uncle Sam saw his chode-like carbine rifle and turned this country convict into a munitions millionaire.
