The Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum Fire of 1903 | Episode 12

Today’s episode is basically a Public Service Announcement for future time travellers. Do not go back to Victorian England. Disease, murder, and stink around every corner. It’s hard to overestimate how terrible every facet of life was in Victorian England. 

On this episode: we’re going to learn what it takes to turn a full size adult into a briquette. Why Jane Eyre stunk, and the best way to saw up a dead horse. I’ll give you a hint - time and bacteria work better than cutting tools alone. Work smarter, not harder.

Well, would you rather be locked away for life against your will for no good reason and have Jack the Ripper as a cellie, do take your chances trying to escape during the worst fire you’ve ever seen? How many places do you know that have too many clients, spread over too large an area, being cared for by too few staff, with too little money and crumbling infrastructure? Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? But seriously, we look down our noses at health care from a century ago like we’re so great. We’re not perfect. No one is. But as imperfect as it might be, mental health care has never been better.

THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone.
