Slip on your factory apron and dim the lights - this week we’re diving into a glow-up that turned deadly.
In Glow Up Gone Wrong, we’re telling the haunting, infuriating, and unbelievably important story of the Radium Girls; the young women who were hired to paint watch dials with luminous paint… and were told it was perfectly safe. Spoiler: it was not.
From “lip, dip, paint” to corporate cover-ups, we unpack how these glowing girls lit up more than clock faces, they sparked one of the biggest workplace safety battles in American history. It’s equal parts girl gang resilience, Gilded Age greed, and courtroom drama that will have you yelling at your speakers.
It’s glamorous. It’s grim. It glows in the dark.
And trust us, this shine comes with a warning label.
