Episode notes
Before the thermostat, there was the hearth — and a lot of shivering. In this episode, two amateur historians chat about how people in Britain kept warm before central heating: from layers of wool and roaring fires to bed warmers and questionable “heat hacks.” Grab a blanket and a cuppa as we explore the cosy (and not-so-cosy) side of history.
