Tonight’s story carries you back to Victorian England, where the comforts of daily life—your tea, your wallpaper, even your cosmetics—could quietly poison you. As you listen, you’ll be lulled into sleep by the steady rhythm of history’s cautionary whispers. Beyond rest, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how ordinary households once lived with invisible dangers in every room, and how fear of poison shaped culture, law, and even trust between families. Most of all, you’ll discover how resilience and knowledge were the true antidotes in a world where safety was never guaranteed.
