If you Google “worst jobs” you’re going to see things like crime scene clean up and sewer diver, but compared to medieval bell ringer? At least sewer divers can be hosed down. Bell ringers had to be hosed off – like, every surface. Enjoy this episode, "The Brescia Church Explosion of 1769." In honor of April Fool's Day, we are taking part in "Operation Switcheroo 2021."

Since the Great Comic Switcheroo of 1997, newspaper and online comic writers have perpetrated April Fools pranks on their readers by drawing each others comics, drawing the same comic as each other, or having their characters take over the other strip. Operation Switcheroo is podcasts swapping feeds for a day. Special thanks to "Your Brain on Facts" podcast for orchestrating all the fun. You can find them at http://yourbrainonfacts.com/ or wherever you enjoy your podcasts.
