Show by iHeartPodcasts
When a sleepy volcano in Indonesia began smoking in 1883, a steamship company started selling tickets. Tourists hiked up Krakatoa until the soles of their shoes melted, sure they were watching a harmless spectacle. Three months later, it let loose one of the loudest sounds in recorded history, giving the world one of its first breaking news stories. * Hosted by Dana Schwartz, Zaron Burnett, and Jason EnglishWritten by Adrien BehnStory Editor is Carmen Borca-CarrilloSenior Producer is Josh FisherEditing and Sound Design by Chris ChildsAdditional Editing by Mary DooeOriginal Music by Elise McCoyShow Logo by Lucy QuintanillaExecutive Producer is Jason English Today’s episode was produced in partnership with Acast Creative Studios.
