Bad Jobs

Join Jack and Mark as they peel back the pages of history and peek into some of the worst jobs to ever need doing. Clean out the Houses of Easement with London's gang of gong farmers, tasked with carting away human excrement in the dead of night. Stomp around in the bucket full of wool and piss, and find out how people in the middle ages made their wool bright and clean, with the Wool Fullers. And come wading into the swamps of 16th century England to catch 'medical' leeches for the booming 'bloodletting' business. All this and more on this instalment of Ordinary Observations. Hosts: Mark Stribling & Jack Williamson This is a podcast by K103 Göteborgs Studentradio.
