Ep. 123 - The Spanish Lady The Conspirators Podcast

In this special episode I tell you the story of the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918, a pandemic unlike any other in human history. You'll hear what's known and still unknown about this mysterious epidemic, and I try to make sense of it all, and draw parallels with the strange situation we find ourselves living in today.
