Episode 91:

The Strange and Insane Victorian era: Deadly Homes

Is now available.

Tonight we are again covering our favorite crazy time period.... the Victorian era! But this time its all about their hilariously but horrific dangers that were lurking in their 19th-century homes! 

Thank you flammable gas lighting (explosions: a feature!), arsenic-laced cleaning products (cleanliness to die for!), and Crinoline dresses (walking fire hazards!)

We don't know how we survived without you!

We'll also gasp at the vibrant yet deadly arsenic wallpaper, the "festive" tradition of candles on Christmas trees (what could go wrong?!), and the truly bizarre practice of using Lysol for feminine hygiene (no.... seriously...totally a thing...).

Join us for a dark but always funny tour of Victorian domestic disasters that will make you appreciate your (relatively) safe modern home!
