Summary

It's our 3rd most voted for topic for Block 2025! We go back to 1666, for the Great Fire of London. And in this case, 'great' means massive, not awesome.

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 08: 25 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
