About this listen
Bioweapons, bottled farts and other extreme plague counter measures - it’s time for a deep dive into a pandemic that put Covid to shame.
In this history-packed episode, we dissect the Black Death like a 14th-century quack. Discover why some people thought onions, urine baths and cuddling chickens could cure it - and how one Pope’s hatred of cats helped doom Europe. There's also corpse-flinging Mongols, V-neck tunics and a word of the day that'll make you question every glass of milk you've ever drunk.
• Pope who worsened the plague by killing cats
• DIY cures including strapping live animals to your boils
• Plague tactics 101: throw your dead over enemy walls
