Ep 4, The Milkman

from Curious World History · host Colleen Barry & Albert Smith

This week Albert and Colleen explore the history of the milkman. This is a job that was very prevalent around the world until the mid-to-late 20th century. This episode is the first in a series that we will come back to from time to time, where we talk about jobs that no longer exist like they once did.
