Episode 30 - Child Labor: Pull Your Weight You Little Bastards

Feb 6 · 64 minutes

Welcome to episode 30, which may be our most depressing one yet. This week, we will be covering the long, tear-soaked saga of using kids as cheap (or free!) labor. Follow along as we talk about the adorable, four year old miners grave from Roman Spain, the plight of poor, medieval peasant children, the (relative) enlightened attitude of Golden Age Islam, China once again being better than everyone, and the sheer depravity of using kids in early factories. No worries, though, the Founding Fathers were fans!
