Radium

Everyone get your radium-laced tonics and dust off your grade 12 chemistry books, we are deep diving into radium this week! We chat about Marie Curie (GOAT), how Sarah needs to watch HBOs Chernobyl, and the dark history of the Radium Girls.

If you're reading this, please note we had a few audio issues in this episode which have been fixed for future episodes so we are sorry to any audiophiles out there.
