Show Notes
Trigger warning: This week's episode is immensely sad and immensely graphic. But first, we start with our creepy things of the week including a cut with a bread knife and a SHOCKING D4vd update.
Our main topic is all about the Radium Girls. These were women that painted dials to help men fighting in the trenches, while unknowingly poisoning themselves with Radium. Cherokee takes you through the horror of what happened to these women, as well as the outcome of decades of court cases, and a bittersweet happy ending. Please also be sure to leave us a review and subscribe! We are always open to new topic suggestions...
