Episode description

For this episode, we welcome Lakkin to the show to cover the interesting and heartbreaking story of the Radium Girls.  These girls (mostly between the age of 14-21) were working in a factory painting watch faces with "Undark".  Sadly, they did not know the radium paint is what is making them sick until it's took late.  We cover some of the injuries, the background of radium, and the coverup by these factories. 

In our Story You May Have Missed, we look more in-depth at the Biden Inflation Reduction Act and it's impact on Medicare.
