Ep. #78 - Radium Girls - Part 1

They were told the glowing paint was harmless. They were even encouraged to put the brushes in their mouths. In this episode, we dive into the horrifying true story of the Radium Girls. Young women who worked with radioactive radium paint while the companies profiting from their labor failed to protect them from its deadly effects. We explore the rise of radium, the dangerous working conditions inside the factories, and the devastating consequences that followed as workers began suffering from mysterious and increasingly horrific illnesses. But this story is about more than radiation. It’s about corporate greed, accountability, workers fighting to be heard, and a tragedy that helped change workplace safety forever.
