    144. The Marchioness Disaster
    May 26 2025

    1989 in London, England, 130 partygoers boarded a small pleasure boat - The Marchioness - for a birthday bash cruise down the Thames river. Less than an hour later, over a third of these people would lose their lives after the boat was struck by a large dredger. For the survivors and the victims families, the pain had only begun.

  • 143. When MIT & Quaker Oats Tested Radiation on Children

    143. When MIT & Quaker Oats Tested Radiation on Children
    May 20 2025

    Massachusetts has a shadow on its history, that of the Fernald School in South Boston, an institution designed to provide children with intellectual disabilities skills that they would be able to have a better life. A mission that changed over time, instead of providing skills ans support, the children were treated as lab rats, with some even tested with radiation.

a fun historical podcast, highly recommended

Katie has a really fun and engaging way of explaining interesting historical events. I love the tangents she takes to explain everything thoroughly and can present the information in a way thats easy to digest.
