The Storytelling Podcast - Ep14 - The Great Molasses Flood in Boston

Send us Fan MailHello and welcome to The Storytelling Podcast, your cosy corner for captivating tales. I'm your host, Alejandra. And today, I am going to tell you an incredible story that I’ve found out in this large pool of historic stories that I dived in, and for that, we're going to Boston, a city rich with history and stories. But this isn't a tale of revolutionaries or old-world charm. It's a story that sounds like a joke, a bizarre headline, but was, in fact, a very real, very tragic disaster. Today, we're telling the story of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. Visual episode: https://youtu.be/tTZK-YAoodISpotify Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ucQqwz2MkQEdyY54xDz5C?si=a756a9b2fc5947f9Available in all Podcast platforms.------------------------------Sponsored by Revolut:Join me and over 60 million users who love Revolut.
