They were called the Glow Girls — until their glow started killing them. In this episode, we dive into the haunting story of the Radium Girls: the teenage dial painters who trusted their employers, lip-pointed their brushes, and unknowingly swallowed enough radiation to light up a dance hall. Their bodies became evidence, their fight became historic, and their courage forced the first real conversations about worker safety in America.

Join us as we tell the story of the women who glowed in the dark, exposed an industrial lie, and sparked the beginnings of modern labor protections. Feminist horror, corporate greed, and righteous rage — all in one episode.
