Listen "Droppings and Doom: The Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894"
Episode Synopsis
Two keen but thoroughly amateur historians saddle up to revisit the infamous Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894. With more wit than scholarship, they trot through the muck of Victorian London’s woes, unearthing how a city almost drowned in horse droppings — and what it all tells us about progress, panic, and the peculiarities of history.
