This week, join Fayge on a boat sailing the Delaware River to chat about Philadelphia's 1793 Yellow Fever epidemic. Please excuse the audio. The mic did really well, given the amount of wind that day, but there is only so much one can do in post.
We will be back with a full-length episode next week.
