Ultimate Scrutiny

It’s 1916. It’s Uplees just outside Faversham, and the good people of the Explosives Loading Company are about to open the biggest hole in Kent since Yates’s Wine Lodge.  In what will almost certainly be the most explosive episode of the CB Wallop Podcast ever join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss The Great Faversham Explosion of 1916 - the gigantic blast that rocked the south of England, atomised over a hundred working men and boys and inadvertently implied that ladies are far better off in the kitchen.   Should you store your T.N.T. next to your Ammonium Nitrate underneath your boiler house chimney? Nope. No, don't do that. Don’t do that again.  Trigger Warning: This is basically just a bloody massive explosion over a hundred years ago in a little town in England - nothing gratuitous here - unless you consider full and frank discussions about Kent’s Biggest Padlock gratuitous - in which case, you’d be right.    Written and Researched by Phil Lucas Edited by Phil Jerrod Music by Steve Adam
