Tesla takes a momentous professional leap and heads west to Colorado Springs. There he builds the experimental station that would allow him to understand the fundamental principles needed to build his world wireless system.Di Stephen Kotowych

Tesla realizes he's reached the limits of experiments he can do on wireless transmission from his Manhattan laboratory when he almost lays waste to his entire neighborhood with an earthquake machine.Di Stephen Kotowych

Tesla abandons x-rays, pioneers radio control, and tries to end war for all time--but not before blowing up what had been one of his closest personal and professional friendships.Di Stephen Kotowych

I'm joined by Tesla biographer, Dr. Marc J. Seifer, for a discussion of his fascinating new book Tesla: Wizard at War: The Genius, the Particle Beam Weapon, and the Pursuit of Power on this very special episode of the podcast.

Tesla begins the monumental task of rebuilding his lab after the fire and, as 1896 dawns, he misses out TWICE on making a revolutionary scientific discovery.Di Stephen Kotowych

On March 13, 1895, at the height of his powers, Tesla suffered a devastating tragedy as his world--and his work--came crashing down around him.Di Stephen Kotowych

TL;DR - This year knocked me off schedule completely, but new episodes are coming soon! Thanks for sticking with the show--I'm looking forward to getting back to telling Tesla's story. Listen to the end for full details of upcoming plans (including...merchandise???)

It's the endgame of the War of the Currents! After their betrayal by the Cataract Construction Company, Tesla and Westinghouse finally secure the contract to harness Niagara Falls. They won the war and changed the world.

No one wanted to harness Niagara Falls for hydroelectric power longer than Tesla himself. But he and Westinghouse faced liars, cheats, and thieves as they fought to win the final battle of the War of the Currents. Hail hydro!Di Stephen Kotowych

Tesla, at the height of his fame, hobnobs with the Gilded Age's 1%. He hosts exclusive events after-hours in his lab, gets up to unusual experiments with Mark Twain, and reveals himself a consummate trickster...

Tesla reputation as a leading man of electrical science grows, and publications and accolades come his way by the handful, thanks in no small part to the help of T.C. Martin, his friend, editor, and hype man.

What happens when a rebooted MacGyver and a John Turturro-lookalike as Tesla meet up deep in MacGyver's subconscious? Is MacGyver's mom evil? Was Telsa's hair ever that slick? It's the latest episode of our sub-podcast, "Tesla Goes to the Movies"!

What happens when everyone's favourite electrical pioneer meets up with everyone's favourite Time Lord? Why, the world gets saved, of course! Join us for this first sub-episode in our new occasional side podcast "Tesla Goes to the Movies"!Di Stephen Kotowych

Just what was Tesla up to on the side while working with Westinghouse on both the World’s Fair and the bid to win the contract to electrify Niagara Falls?

Updates, update, updates...

It was the Fair That Changed America. And it was the chance for Tesla and Westinghouse to show the world the power of their AC system. The 1893 World's Columbian Exposition made Tesla a household name and changed his life forever.Di Stephen Kotowych

Westinghouse makes an 11th-hour bid to electrify the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 with Tesla's AC system and GE will do anything to torpedo the deal. Welcome to Thunderdome: two bids enter, one bid leaves...Di Stephen Kotowych

Edison and Westinghouse battle over lightbulbs and high finance as we return to the trenches of the War of the Currents, and see how the war whittled itself down from fifteen combatants to just two...Di Stephen Kotowych

Tesla's trip to the Continent would take an emotional and physical toll that he couldn't have imagined. But he nevertheless returned from Europe with the big idea that would dominate the rest of his career.Di Stephen Kotowych

When his colleagues in the AC field start turning on him, Tesla uses an invitation to lecture in London to reassert his place as the inventor of the AC motor and to dazzle Victorian London with all-new discoveries.Di Stephen Kotowych

Tesla the Showman knocks 'em dead at the AIEE with a lecture for the ages and a breathtaking demonstration of high frequency AC. It was his ticket to fame and celebrity.Di Stephen Kotowych

Fresh from his return from Europe, Tesla goes on an inventing spree and dabbles in high-frequency currents. But when George Westinghouse comes calling and pleads poverty, Tesla makes a fateful and costly mistake...Di Stephen Kotowych

The War of the Currents enters its most ghoulish and macabre phase: when the combatants were willing to play with a man’s life. William Kemmler became the first person put to death by deliberate electrocution. Viewer discretion is very much advised.Di Stephen Kotowych

When New York became the first state to execute people using the electric chair, Edison and his DC supporters would do anything to ensure it was alternating current that powered “Old Sparky”…Di Stephen Kotowych

War is hell, even when it's the War of the Currents. Harold Brown's campaign against AC turns deadly, as he conducts gruesome electrical experiments on stray dogs, and helps set the stage for New York's first electric chair...Di Stephen Kotowych
