This week, join Haley for a wake and bake and hear the horrifying story of The Radium Girls! Lack of safety procedures, transparency, and common human decency led to the horrifyingly slow death of 30 womhien, while corporate greed assholes sat around and collected sweet sweet cash.
Here is the waterbury clock mentioned at the beginning of the show, the ad read, and an artist's depiction of Phossy Jaw.
