Once upon a time, one Boston neighborhood experienced an exceptionally sticky situation when a tank of molasses exploded. Today, we're putting molasses itself on blast.

Hello, and welcome to History on Blast. I'm Hillary and I'll be your host as we callout history. Every other week, we'll be putting a different person, place, time, or event on blast for the shit they pulled. This ain't your Grandpa's history podcast. So if this sounds like your cup of harbor tea, be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast catcher.
