#0 - NEON: The Real History Behind Popular Culture - Trailer

In 1977 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune, excavating popular culture and extracting the DNA of history and producing a podcast like you’ve never heard. If need a podcast, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire … the N-Team.Written & Presented by Jem Duducu Produced by Dan MorelleSubscribe to the podcast in iTunes and follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/NEONpodcast Hosted on Acast.

NEON is a different way of sharing historical knowledge. NEON takes a pop culture phenomenon and turns it on its head by revealing lesser known facts, real-life events and history behind your favourite Netflix shows, movies or video games.From how the A-Team took inspiration from Vietnamese history and resistance leaders, to the Aryan purity and Harem breeding programs behind the Handmaid’s Tale. Even some of the most successful video games – Assassins Creed, God of War, and Fortnite – are steeped in history.NEON has already uncovered historical references in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Black Panther, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, The Greatest Showman and the musical, Hamilton.Presented by Jem DuducuProduced by Dan Morelle
