 The History Of...
For people who were bad at history but not too proud to Google it now. This isn’t the history podcast for experts. It’s for the rest of us: the curious, the confused, the ones who zoned out during school but still wonder who invented the fork or why people used to put arsenic in their face cream. Each episode takes one thing an object, a place, a job, a trend and unpacks the weird, messy, often ridiculous story behind it. Just history for people who ask questions late at night and want answers that don’t feel like homework. You might actually enjoy it, and it's enough to make you feel clever at work...for a change.

    Ep.2 Chimney Sweeps
    2025/08/13
    From soot-blackened rooftops to the grimy crawlspaces of Victorian flues, chimney sweeps were once an essential, if hazardous, part of city life. In this episode, we explore how a centuries-old profession kept fires burning safely, the surprising origins of the trade, and the dark reality behind its smallest workers. Along the way, we uncover the folklore, superstitions, and cultural quirks that made chimney sweeps both feared and lucky charms in equal measure.
