As we grapple with lifestyle changes due to the global spread of COVID-19, we must remember that it isn't the world's first pandemic, nor will it be the last. In this special full-length episode for our Patreon supporters, we discuss the disease outbreak known as the Black Death, along with how it both affected and was affected by the sociopolitical circumstances of the time. We also want to give special thanks to all those working and risking their own safety to care for our communities during this time.
