The Seveso Disaster of 1976 | Episode 62

We’re going back to Italy! But it’ll be hard to enjoy all the flavours and sites with your eyes and tongue swelling out of your head!On today’s episode: we’ll learn all about Russia’s almost cartoonish fascination with murder, we’ll learn the best way to get that full-body boil-look, and we’ll learn all the ways your cleaning products can make you not make think so good The last time we were in Italy we had a Tetraology of Terror, our very first interactive disastersode, and hundreds of thousands died in every way imaginable. We don’t know how many people died from the complications of this episode, but it’s nice to do a bloodless story where no one was turned inside-out every now and then.And if you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 13 minutes!• We discussed the cartoonish cloak and dagger world of Russian assassination tactics • the lifesaving and bowel cleaning properties of Olestra• We discussed whether Catherine the Great had sex with horses• We covered how disturbingly little vacation time North America gets compared to, well, the rest of the planet really• We discussed the radiance of American superfund sites, including my semi-local favourite, Love Canal• And I included a minisode within the episode telling the unbelievable tale of Times Beach, Missouri and their impossibly poisonous road spraying technique ––––– THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone. I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.
