59 – Lamp Lady – Florence Nightingale


September 13, 2022

About the Episode

1800s humans did a lot of hard things. They built bridges, fought wars with Real Guns™, and even shipped entire buildings across the ocean. But basic hygeine? Ehhh . . .

This week, Colin tells us about legendary nurse Florence Nightingale, while Sierra makes dining tables out of a new kind of wood. You’ll hear about poop chutes, the trickle down effect, and how you can be a feminist and still be a racist!
