This is the first episode that features myself as my profile avatar. As you can see from the title, I'll be explaining what the Bubonic Plague was and how people tried to cure themselves when they contracted the disease.

But a quick warning though, there will be pictures shown in this video so this is just a heads up. You can also watch it in the Earth Phenomenon website or on YouTube.

Music: Guillaume de Machaut - VII. Ite missa est, Sugar Cookie, Cosmic Star and Bored
