    Ep 4, The Milkman
    Aug 14 2025

    This week Albert and Colleen explore the history of the milkman. This is a job that was very prevalent around the world until the mid-to-late 20th century.

    This episode is the first in a series that we will come back to from time to time, where we talk about jobs that no longer exist like they once did.
