S4 Ep22: The Strasbourg Dancing Plague - 1518
S4 Ep22: The Strasbourg Dancing Plague - 1518Update: 2019-06-02
Description
It's 1518, It's medieval Strasbourg and Frau Troffea has just kicked off the least enjoyable dance off since Ann Widdecombe did Strictly.
In what banging medieval shape-makers are already calling the 22nd episode of the CB Wallop Podcast, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss the Strasbourg Dancing Plague - The strange and unexplained day where over four hundred people danced themselves to death rather than go back to work.
Was it hot blood on the brain? Was it Holy Wrath? Was it all women's fault? Is all of this complete b@#llocks?... no... no apparently it's not.
Trigger Warning: This is people over five hundred years ago, dancing until their feet bleed - little bit of religious mania involved, little bit of making fun of nuns - but otherwise nothing to worry about.
Title music by Steve Adam
