Where You're From Episode 24 - London's Lazy Hazy Gin Craze!!

Where You're From - British, Filipino, and Japanese History with Hitomi and Max!

Welcome to episode twenty-four of our wonderfully awesome comedy and history podcast, Where You're From! Brought to you by husband and wife team, Max and Hitomi.

Each episode, British born Max, and Filipino Japanese Hitomi, will talk about each others cultural history. It's a whole lot of interesting education and comedy, and hopefully only a pinch of domestic violence.

This weeks episode features your favourite Japanese Filipina lady, Hitomi. She's going to tell us the story of London's 18th century love affair with gin. It was the British equivalent of the San Francisco gold rush. Except it involved a lot more gin and a lot more people pissing themselves. Who was responsible for introducing Gin to the Brits and why did it drive people crazy?? All the answers and more in this weeks episode!!

Pint of gin sir? YUCK!!

Let's history!

***New episode every Friday***

Max became a sound engineer from episode 14, so much better audio quality starting from that episode. If you're new here and looking for a good episode to start on, episode 14 is a good place to start.
