Podcasts about Great Stink

How did sanitation become one of public health's greatest triumphs, while being its oldest unfinished problem? In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, host Gordon Thane traces the story from Victorian Britain's overcrowded streets to Edwin Chadwick's groundbreaking 1842 report, which reframed disease as a product of "removable circumstances" rather than individual fate. We revisit the Great Stink of 1858, when London's sewage crisis finally reached Parliament, where swift action followed. Then we confront a sobering reality: 3.4 billion people still lack safely managed sanitation today.Sources for ContentChadwick, Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population of Great BritainUK Parliament — 1842 Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring PopulationUK Parliament — The 1848 Public Health ActLondon Museum — The Great Stink of 1858Science Museum — Flushed Away: Sewers Through HistoryRoyal Museums Greenwich — Dickens and The Great Stink of 1858WHO/UNICEF JMP — Progress on Household Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hygiene 2000–2024UNICEF — Fast Facts: 1 in 4 People Globally Still Lack Access to Safe Drinking WaterWHO — Sanitation Fact SheetBritannica — Sir Edwin ChadwickEBSCO — Edwin ChadwickVaishali — Edwin Chadwick: A Pioneer of Public Health Reform and His Relevance to Modern Public Health PracticeHost & Producer◼️Gordon Thane, BMSc, MPH, PMP®Production Notes◼️ Music from Johnny Harris x Tom Fox: The Music RoomLeave Us Some FeedbackIf you enjoy our podcasts, be sure to subscribe and leave us a rating on Apple Podcast or Spotify, and spread the word to your friends to help us get discovered by more people.

Dans ce nouvel épisode, on s'attaque à un tabou : ce qu'on laisse derrière nous chaque matin aux toilettes.

Episode 275 kicks off with Tony raw dogging the podcast (coffeelessly), a packed summer gig schedule, and a new song on the way. Then Mike and Tony take us on a tour of history's most unhinged verified moments — Napoleon getting mobbed by domesticated rabbits, London's 1858 Great Stink shutting down Parliament, a Kentucky meat shower courtesy of vomiting vultures, 13 Dublin legends dying from drinking burning gutter whiskey, and a French freak show performer who swallowed live kittens and still couldn't get full. Plus: the Tanganyika laughter epidemic, Tycho Brahe's golden nose and his drunk moose, and a deep spiral into toilet plume science, diarrhea statistics, and the Mr. Sketch marker-to-Sharpie huffing pipeline. We close out with a round of spicy Would You Rathers that get deeply, unnecessarily personal.Cheers! m&t

By the mid-1800's, the River Thames was essentially a massive sewer. People poured their waste into it. They also drank from it. That combination resulted in thousands of deaths. People weren't sure what caused the deaths, but in the summer of 1858, when the temperatures rose and the water levels dropped, London stunk to high heaven. It took a lot of money, creativity, and an incredible act of civil engineering from Sir Joseph Bazalgette to fix the Great Stink. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

In the summer of 1858, London was brought to a standstill by something you couldn't see but definitely couldn't ignore: the overwhelming stench of the River Thames.  The event, known as the Great Stink, wasn't just unpleasant. It forced a modern city to confront a growing crisis of sanitation, public health, and urban planning.  What happened that summer would reshape one of the world's greatest cities and change how we think about infrastructure forever.  Learn more about the smell that changed history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It’s amazing how we beg for the heat of summer when we’re freezing in the dead of winter. And then the heatwaves hit. Once again this summer, we’re all sweltering from the heat… air so thick and hot you can feel it go down your throat as you breathe. But heatwaves are nothing new. They killed thousands in 1898 and thousands more in the early 1900s. But the one that hit London 167 years ago changed the city forever. It’s time to revisit “The Great Stink of 1858.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A critical review into England and Wales's broken water system has been released - and it says we are in the midst of the "Great Stink" of the 21st century.    The report includes 88 recommendations - including a new single integrated regulator to replace existing water watchdogs, mandatory water metering, and a social tariff for vulnerable customers.   In this episode, Niall Paterson asks Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso if after  decades of ill-treatment, finally can new regulation bring our water back to health.    Plus, the Consumer Council for Water's chief executive Mike Keil looks at whether public confidence in water can ever be restored. Producer: Emily Hulme and Emma Rae WoodhouseEditor: Philly Beaumont 

Why, in the 1850s, was the excrement of thousands of people being deposited straight into the Thames? How lethal were Victorian London's cholera outbreaks? And why is Joseph Bazalgette one of the most heroic figures in London's history? Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, Rosemary Ashton answers the most pressing questions on an infamous pollution event caused by soaring temperatures and huge amounts of human waste.

The discharge of raw sewage into rivers, and the financial problems of major water companies, have become serious political and social concerns for the public. British cities have faced similar challenges in the past, most notoriously with the ‘Great Stink' in London in 1858 that led to the construction of Bazalgette's sewer. Consequently, many cities took utilities into public ownership in the late nineteenth century in what is termed ‘gas and water socialism'. Why did this happen, and why were utilities returned to private ownership in the later twentieth century? The lecture will conclude by assessing the success or failure of the current system of regulated private ownership. Should there be a return to public ownership?This lecture was recorded by Martin Daunton on 11th February 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Professor Martin Daunton is Visiting Gresham Professor of Economic History.He is a British academic and historian. He was Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, between 2004 and 2014. He is Emeritus Professor of Economic History at the University of Cambridge.He has written two books on the history of taxation in Britain – Trusting Leviathan and Just Taxes, and co-edited with colleagues in Berlin a volume of essays on the political economy of public finance in leading OECD countries since the 1970s. His book The Economic Government of the World, 1933 to 2023 was published by Allen Lane in 2023.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/water-sewage-crisisGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Calling all penny farthing enthusiasts, we need answers! New records have been set, and we want to know more. Alex takes a dive into the Thames this week. Not the modern Thames, oh no, she's bravely gone back to 1858, the year of the Great Stink. What's that got to do with Bexley? The Crossness pumping station, that's what. An important part of Bazalgette's solution, his new improved sewage system, to transport the poop of London out the East. A very functional building then, presumably.

Send us a Text Message.The opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics is two short days away. As over 10,000 athletes gather in Paris, France, anticipation builds. But that anticipation is not just for the next 19 days of fierce competition, it's also for the Seine. The Seine River is set to host events including the 10 kilometer marathon swim and the triathlon, but as the Games approached, much of the testing showed that the Seine was still teeming with dangerous levels of E. coli and other bacteria. And a lot of people are asking, "why is this river so dirty?" In today's episode, we're going to get into the interesting history of how people have dealt with sewage, from Mesopotamia times to today, and how the Seine, as well as a river Sam knows well — the Potomac — are trying to clean up their acts. We'll dive into questions like, 'Will it ever be legal to swim in the Potomac?' 'Did Thomas Crapper actually invent the cra... um, toilet?' 'How do you clean up dilapidated old mines that are poisoning a river?' and more.

The ‘Great Stink' - when the stench of untreated human and industrial waste was amplified by a particularly hot Summer - reached a peak on 15th July, 1858, when members of Parliament lead by Benjamin Disraeli rushed through an emergency cleanup bill, kickstarting a transformative revamp of London's sewage system. Prior to this, waste from factories, slaughterhouses, and households accumulated on the capital's riverbanks, creating a thick, malodorous crust. Most Londoners believed that bad air caused illness, rather than the poisoned water itself - a misunderstanding which initially led people to simply cover their noses to avoid the stench. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal the desperate methods attempted by MPs in order to prevent the stench from entering the Palace of Westminster; marvel at the architectural ambition of Sir Joseph Bazalgette, chief engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works; and explain why the ‘miasma theory' had gone unchallenged for centuries…  Further Reading: • ‘Too hot?

The Great Stink of 1858 in London spurred urgent action for improved sanitation infrastructure, ultimately leading to the revolutionary sewer system designed by Joseph Bazalgette. The crisis prompted a shift towards government intervention in public health and infrastructure, setting a precedent for sustainable urban planning worldwide. The legacy of Bazalgette's innovative system endures as a model for addressing urbanization challenges with proactive infrastructure development.

The sea is no longer safe to swim in, tomatoes are growing on beaches from seeds in undigested human faeces, and rivers are awash with pig's blood.

The raw sewage being pumped into rivers and seas in England has become a seismic election issue. The musician turned environmentalist Feargal Sharkey joins the FT's Lucy Fisher, George Parker and Robert Shrimsley to assess how we got here, while the FT's infrastructure correspondent Gill Plimmer analyses Thames Water's woes. Plus, the team looks at scandals in Westminster and considers how much William Wragg's honeytrap debacle and allegations that Angela Rayner failed to pay the right tax on a former house sale – which she denies – might damage their parties' chances in this election year.Since recording, Greater Manchester Police have launched an investigation into allegations that Angela Rayner potentially broke electoral law by failing to properly disclose her main residence in official documents.Follow Lucy on X: @LOS_Fisher, Robert @robertshrimsley, George @GeorgeWParker, Gill @gillplimmer1, Feargal @Feargal_Sharkey,Want more?

The Great Stink was a many-year event in England as a result of dumping human waste in the river Thames. The smell was so atrocious that even the queen couldn't tolerate more than a few minutes of a cruise.

During the summer of 1858, a drought coupled with a heatwave, the lack of a proper sewer system, industrial waste, a booming population, and an increase in the usage of new flush toilets all came together to form a perfect storm of putrid petulance in London that was so bad historians gave it its own name: The Great Stink.  The Great Stink was so foul it would send Londoners into fits of vomiting if they went anywhere near the Thames. The river's unsanitary conditions made for a city ripe with illness. In an age where water transmitted diseases were not well understood, the people of London believed 'miasma' or the foul air itself was to blame. As physician John Snow went to work attempting to convince the world that cholera was spread through contaminated water, Joseph Bazalgette was drawing up plans for the largest infrastructure overhaul Victorian London had ever seen.  Come with me and uncover the history of a smell so foul that historians are still talking about it today, and hear about the mad dash to save the Thames which, according to Charles Dickens himself had become, "a deadly sewer.”

Before the advent of the germ theory of disease in the 1870s, quarantine provided one of the few effective means to prevent or alleviate epidemics. The Lazaretto quarantine station in Philadelphia illustrates the history of quarantine both before and after the discovery of pathogenic microbes. With us to explore the history of 18th and 19th century quarantine in Philadelphia, and what it meant for public health, is David Barnes. David teaches the history of medicine and public health at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is an Associate Professor of History and Sociology of Science. David received a BA in history from Yale in 1984 and a Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992. His books include The Making of a Social Disease: Tuberculosis in Nineteenth-Century France (University of California Press, 1995), The Great Stink of Paris and the Nineteenth-Century Struggle against Filth and Germs (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2006), and Lazaretto: How Philadelphia Used an Unpopular Quarantine Based on Disputed Science to Accommodate Immigrants and Prevent Epidemics (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2023).

The Great Stink of 1858 has highlights from some of the Sawbones Greatest Hits: the controversy of hand washing, the miasma theory of disease. and cholera. Which is all to say: it took humanity a long time to figure out that we shouldn't be drinking poop.Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/

Discovering and being inspired by lesser-known historical events can be a fascinating experience.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the stench from the River Thames in the hot summer of 1858 and how it appalled and terrified Londoners living and working beside it, including those in the new Houses of Parliament which were still under construction. There had been an outbreak of cholera a few years before in which tens of thousands had died, and a popular theory held that foul smells were linked to diseases. The source of the problem was that London's sewage, once carted off to fertilise fields had recently, thanks to the modern flushing systems, started to flow into the river and, thanks to the ebb and flow of the tides, was staying there and warming in the summer sun. The engineer Joseph Bazalgette was given the task to build huge new sewers to intercept the waste, a vast network, so changing the look of London and helping ensure there were no further cholera outbreaks from contaminated water.

It was 1854, and something was killing thousands of people in London. It must be the bad air, people thought. And indeed, as unseasonable heat baked the sewage-fouled River Thames, the smell grew so bad it became known as “The Great Stink.” But the worst problem wasn’t the air. Research by Dr. John Snow would show that contaminated water was the cause of the cholera epidemic. We humans have long been aware of another crisis—one that stinks to high heaven. We live in a broken world—and we’re prone to misidentify the source of this problem, treating symptoms instead. Wise social programs and policies do some good, but they’re powerless to stop the root cause of society’s ills—our sinful hearts! When Jesus said, “Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them,” He wasn’t referring to physical diseases (Mark 7:15). Rather, He was diagnosing the spiritual condition of every one of us. “It is what comes out of a person that defiles them,” He said (v. 15), listing a litany of evils lurking inside us (vv. 21–22). “Surely I was sinful at birth,” David wrote (Psalm 51:5). His lament is one we can all voice. We’re broken from the beginning. That’s why David prayed, “Create in me a pure heart, O God” (v. 10). Every day, we need that new heart, created by Jesus through His Spirit. Instead of treating the symptoms, we must let Jesus purify the source.

From dumping raw sewage into rivers to littering the streets with our trash, humans don't have a great track record when it comes to dealing with our waste. It's something that CrowdScience listener and civil engineer Marc has noticed: he wonders if humans are particularly prone to messing up our surroundings, while other species are instinctively more hygienic and well-organised. Are we, by nature, really less clean and tidy than other animals? Farming and technology have allowed us to live more densely and generate more rubbish - maybe our cleaning instincts just aren't up to the vast quantities of waste we spew out? CrowdScience digs into the past to see if early human rubbish heaps can turn up any answers. We follow a sewer down to the River Thames to hear about The Great Stink of Victorian London; turn to ants for housekeeping inspiration; and find out how to raise hygiene standards by tapping into our feelings of disgust and our desire to follow rules.
