Preseason Bonus Episode | R-Naughty Presents: Exposure Scroll Readings
Narrated by Mira Tell
In the summer of 1976, a mysterious outbreak turned a Philadelphia hotel into an invisible battlefield. Veterans checked in for camaraderie and cigars—some never checked out.
In this sultry preseason bonus episode, Mira Tell unseals the scroll on Legionnaires’ disease: the deadly, mist-borne illness that emerged from the air vents of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel and changed building safety forever.
With signature seduction and razor-sharp science, Mira follows the clues:
• A bacteria no one could name
• A CDC microbiologist who wouldn’t quit
• And a cooling tower with a lethal spray
From overlooked outbreaks to revised regulations, this is the story of how a hotel’s AC system became one of the most notorious disease vectors in U.S. history.
History gets unzipped, unrolled… and occasionally vaporized.
