The Spanish Flu: That Time When the Whole World Got Sick


Listen Later

The Spanish Flu.   On our third episode, Liz and Dakota talk about the Forgotten Pandemic: The Spanish Flu of 1918.  We cover the spread of this disease, how it moved from rural America to around the world, how it got it's name, as well as it's "cures" and "causes" - trust us, sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.
