Episode 457: The Black Death Part II - Passport to Hell

On part two, we explore the ways in which war, superstition, and
fear gripped Europe as the plague robbed the continent of human
life. Then, we travel north through Italy to get a closer look at
the disease as it moved like a piranha, spilling blood in the
gutters of Messina, Florence, Venice, and beyond. 


What does God's divine retribution look like? How far can rats
jump? And what is the most elegant way to ditch your sickly
family member? All answers will be revealed.
