If you hate Valentines day as much as us, you will definitely want to check out this episode. Forget sweet nothings! 
In this episode, we uncover the surprising history of 'Vinegar Valentines,' the satirical and often scathing cards that were a popular counterpoint to romantic expressions of affection in the 19th century. We'll delve into the social and cultural context that gave rise to these acerbic messages, analyze the artistic styles and humor of the cards, and discuss their enduring legacy in popular culture.
