- Historical Toxicology (OLD TIMEY POISONS) with Deborah Blum
- Description
- <p>Metal poisons. Odorless ones. Toxic plants. Iocane powder, arsenic, old lace, poisons as self-defense, black mirrors, Aqua Tofanas, movie myths, and the start of testing for that which ails or kills you: we’ve got Historical Toxicology with Pulitzer Prize-winning science author & chemistry connoisseur Deborah Blum. She wrote the beloved “Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York” and takes us through a spooky walk in time, when chemistry was magic and homicide was an easier feat.</p><p>Visit Deborah Blum’s <a href="https://deborahblum.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deborahblum7" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p>Buy her <a href="https://deborahblum.com/books/" target="_blank">books</a> including <i>The Poison Squad</i> and <i>The Poisoner’s Handbook</i> on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Deborah-Blum/author/B000AQ3O3E" target="_blank">Amazon</a> or <a href="https://bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=%22Deborah+Blum%22" target="_blank">Bookshop.org</a></p><p>Donations went to <a href="https://wck.org/" target="_blank">World Central Kitchen</a> and <a href="https://earthjustice.org/" target="_blank">Earthjustice</a></p><p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/historicaltoxicology">More episode sources and links</a></p><p>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/spooktober">Spooktober: Topics to Startle and Love</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/toxinology">Toxinology (JELLYFISH VENOM)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/medusology">Medusology (JELLYFISH)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/alligatorecotoxicology">Alligator Ecotoxicology (GATOR POISONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/environmentaltoxicology">Environmental Toxicology (POISONS + TRAIN DERAILMENT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/conotoxinology">Conotoxinology (CONE SNAIL VENOM)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/scorpiology">Scorpiology (SCORPIONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/kalology">Kalology (BEAUTY STANDARDS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/victimology">Victimology (CRIME VICTIMS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/witchology">Witchology (WITCHES & WITCHCRAFT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mycology">Mycology (MUSHROOMS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/foragingecology">Foraging Ecology (EATING WILD PLANTS)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a></p><p><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a></p><p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a></p><p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month</p><p><a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!</p><p>Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a></p><p>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies">TikTok</a></p><p>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" target="_blank">Jake Chaffee</a></p><p>Managing Director: Susan Hale</p><p>Scheduling Producer: Noel Dilworth</p><p>Transcripts by Aveline Malek </p><p>Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
