Ready to jump into 1665 without needing a time machine or a biohazard suit? In this episode, our two favourite amateur historians (emphasis on amateur) tackle the Great Plague of London—because nothing says “lighthearted banter” like bubonic death and 17th-century sanitation!

Join us as we unpack how fleas, rats, and questionable medical advice combined to turn London into a real-life horror story. From plague doctors with beaky masks to some truly terrible health tips, we separate the facts from the filthy fiction—with a few laughs along the way.

Whether you're a history buff or just here for the plague puns, you’ll come away entertained, mildly educated, and very grateful for modern plumbing.
