Tuberculean Chic: A 19th-cen. Fashion Inspired by Tuberculosis – featuring Dig: A History Podcast

We explore ideas and practices once believed to be true but no longer. Each dead idea is explored in all its glorious eccentricity.

Join us on a fun romp through the history of ideas that didn’t quite stand the test of time.
