Send us a text

Hello and welcome to The Storytelling Podcast, your cosy corner for captivating tales. 

I'm your host, Alejandra. And today, I am going to tell you an incredible story that I’ve found out in this large pool of historic stories that I dived in, and for that, we're going to Boston, a city rich with history and stories. But this isn't a tale of revolutionaries or old-world charm. 

It's a story that sounds like a joke, a bizarre headline, but was, in fact, a very real, very tragic disaster. Today, we're telling the story of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919.
