#64 The History of Refrigeration

In this week’s episode we’re joined again by guest host Brian Velez to talk about cold stuff. Does it seem like the most boring topic we’ve ever covered? Kind of, but it turns out that learning how ancient Persians and Romans had ice on demand is pretty damn cool! Conversely, learning how Industrial Revolution rich guys monopolized the production and distribution of ice is… predictable. So turn your thermostat down to 65 degrees, grab yourself an iced yak’s milk, and enjoy!
