Episode description

Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 188. This time we examine the year 1918 as the Liberty Loan Parade causes a major outbreak of the Spanish Flu in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania…also Polio, and 1923 as Alexander Fleming discovers Penicillin.

Theme music by The Tim Kreitz Band
