In this episode, Sarah and James explore some of the strangest trends in history — from garden hermits and tulip mania to miasma theory and the fear of “bad air”.

But rather than simply laughing at the past, we look at the reasoning behind these ideas and why they actually made sense to the people living at the time.

Because history’s strangest trends often reveal something much deeper about how people understood the world around them.
