Listen Later

We are taking a break from the Radium Girls before closing out the series with Part 4. On today's episode we will be talking about industrial disasters and bastards. Emily Seabold from Everyday Lies Podcast joins us for some horror and retribution. We tell two stories of fraud, negligence, death, disease, and pollution. You know...all the things you've come to know and love from us. It's bitter and then sweet on this episode of Under the Pendulum Podcast
