About this listen

This week’s episode is about the cultural legacy of the 1918 Flu Pandemic as we ask: why do we commemorate wars but not pandemics? Our guest is Mark Honigsbaum, a medical historian and senior lecturer in the department of journalism at the City University of London. His most recent book The Pandemic Century: One Hundred Years of Panic, Hysteria, and Hubris revisits and examines reactions to 10 pandemics and epidemics of the last 100 years.
