from The Backstory with Patty Steele · host Elvis Duran Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts

So we’re all sweltering from the heat…air so thick and hot you can feel it go down your throat as you breathe. But heat waves are nothing new.

It was “the great stink of 1858.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
