The Radium Girls Part One- Radioactive Gas Lighting


Listen Later

Question: Should you put radioactive paint in your mouth??? Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT. In the early 1900's, the world decided that Radium was a Miracle Element that could do no wrong.  In this episode we get into the horrifying consequences of using radio active material in factories with no safety precautions whatsoever.
