Pyrotechnics, the History and Art of Firework Making, Part 2
Let's celebrate our 300th episode and 10 MILLION listens with a bit of fireworks! That sounds exciting, but it's really just a sleepy catalog of firework displays in England up to the 19th century. Flaming dragon battles and "philosophical fireworks" are somewhat mentioned, so that's fun. Help us stay ad-free and 100%…
We score an episode from what we can actually measure — its reach and engagement, what listeners say about it, and what it covers. We don't have those signals for this one yet, so it doesn't get a number.
Buzzmeter says it's buzzing across platforms — the Hive Vote says whether the people who actually listened liked it.
