Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop dive into the chaotic history of Tulip Mania in this week’s Weird History, exploring how a simple flower once sparked one of the world’s earliest financial bubbles. Paired with the bittersweet Market Crash cocktail and a playlist full of riches, rascals, and economic mischief, this episode proves that when it comes to money, humans never quite learn their lessons.
WARNING! This show is for adults. We drink cocktails, have potty mouths and, at least, one of us was raised by wolves.
