Summary

In the early 1900s, radium wasn’t feared—it was fashionable. Beauty products claiming to contain actual radium promised glowing skin and better health, all in the name of modern science. This short episode explores the strange beginnings of the Radium Craze and sets the stage for a deeper dive next week into the radioactive household products that once seemed perfectly normal.
