Drowsy History Week: The Great Molasses Flood

Kristen Meinzer and Sophia Wilson Pelton revisit one of history’s stickiest disasters — the Great Molasses Flood of 1919.

What You’ll Hear:

Home Improvement Gone Wild: Kristen and Sophia share tales of ladders, lights, and plumbers who perhaps needed a few more instructions.

A Sticky Situation: Sophia retells the wild, true story of Boston’s molasses flood — complete with runaway syrup, rogue physics, and a little corporate chaos.

Sweet Dreams: The hosts imagine drifting off atop a molasses river — a cozy, if slightly sugary, visualization exercise for bedtime.
