This week we enter the demi-monde of the belle epoch to explore the strange and scandalous story of Absinthe, with writer Nina Studer.
By the time it was banned in 1915, the famous 'green fairy' had become the green peril, feared for its connection with declining birth rates and its apparent capacity to induce degeneration, madness, and murderous rage in its consumers. As one of history’s most notorious drinks, absinthe has been the subject of endless myth, scandal, and controversy. Just what we love on here.
So how does the secret history of drinking help us understand the past? And will any green liquids be consumed during the podcast?
