Description

It’s 1971. It’s Iraq and Saddam Hussein has just imported 95,000 tonnes of chemically coated Mexican grain so dangerous I’m surprised we didn’t have a war about it.  




In what Iraqi Information Ministers are already denying is the 31st episode of the CB Wallop Podcast you Americans dogs! join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss the Iraq Poison Grain Disaster - the shocking and awful miscommunication that killed hundreds of people, poisoned thousands more, and forever ruined the reputation of bright pink bread.  




Is a pig a good way to test for a poison? No... no it is not.  




Trigger Warning: This one is all about poisonous bread. Mercury poisoning isn’t very nice - but otherwise it’s a relatively tame one. There is some discussion of totalitarian dictators’ windy-pops ...so sorry about that.
