Episode 43 was a little bit of a disaster but we got our shit together. Episode 43 takes us to California, where optimism, ambition, and a whole lot of confidence collide with catastrophic reality. This week, we’re talking about the St. Francis Dam—a structure built to secure the future and instead unleashed one of the deadliest man-made disasters in U.S. history.
We’ve got rushed decisions, ignored warning signs, powerful egos (looking at you, William Mulholland), and a failure so massive it reshaped engineering forever. So pour a glass, brace yourself, and join us as we unpack how one dam damn near destroyed entire communities—and why this disaster still matters today.
