In this episode, Laura< Krysta and Dean sort through the history of and surrounding the Radium Girls. But first, Krysta has facts about the fast fashion industry and how it's a lot more harmful to the environment than most people know. Dean suggest his theory that his clothing purchases have a lifetime contract with him as being so he doesn't add to the environmental harms of fast fashion. Laura calls bull on this idea and refuses to entertain it. From there, the trio go on to discuss the Radium girls and how five womenwere largely the reason the US government created OSHA, to protect workers who had been lied to or left unprotected by their employers. Join us as we look into the tragic history of the girls known today as the Radium Girls!
