Skunk oil and the butcher girl
Kara Jensen-Mackinnon, supervising producer and article swapper with Matt Bevan from Modern Weekly News Magazine, dives into a trove of oddities from 1940s Australia. They discuss an 18-year-old girl running her father's butcher shop and connect it to fluoride research. The laughter continues with tales of a poultry farmer giving metal glasses to chickens and a crocodile hatching in a lawyer's office. They also reminisce about the decline of the skunk oil industry and the whimsical smuggling of Australian bees to Russia. It's a delightful blend of history and absurdity!
