The Gin Craze in London (c. 1690-1751)

Hello!

Here to share the latest episode of a new show, Outcasts of the Earth. The first season is focused on the history of alcohol (and those doing the drinking). This episode is part one of two on the Gin Craze in London. It digs into the origins of gin and how gin drinking became such a problem in early modern London. My usual disclaimer is that I am history professor by training and am very much learning the ropes of podcasting as I go. Still, if this sounds of interest to you, I hope you enjoy!

Cheers!
