Episode notes
In this haunting episode of Also Radio, we unpack the deadly side of historical fashion: the arsenic-laced gowns that poisoned their wearers, the crinoline skirts that turned dance floors into infernos, the corsets that crushed lungs in the name of refinement, and the hatmakers who slowly went mad from mercury fumes.
It’s the intersection of elegance and tragedy — where glamour became a ghost story and every garment had a body count.
