Episode 456: The Black Death Part I - Stomp a Gerbil, Bribe a Rat

This week we begin a 4-part series on a catastrophe that remains one of the most destructive things to ever happen to humanity β€” the Black Death AKA the Great Mortality AKA the Big Death. For part one, we examine the conditions that led to the worst pandemic in history. Spoiler alert: it involves an ungodly amount of human shit.

I was so disgusted by all the poo that I bought the book and signed up for a higher Patreon tier. Seriously, youz guyz are fantastic.

Marcus might be topping himself on the history episodes with this one.

Love history episodes, great job guys

Love that panspermia theory has come up here! One of my microbiology professors (at a respected UK university) was very into this. He then went on to appear on Ancient Aliens

Anybody else surprised (or even, shocked) that Marcus didn’t catch/correct Henry yelling β€œIan Curtis”, in reference to the anthrax section? FYI: Ian Curtis was the lead singer/lyricist of the band Joy Division, about which No Dogs In Space did a four-part series. Scott Ian is the lead singer/guitarist of the band Anthrax
