Welcome to another bonus episode of Calm History, an extra treat for my Soap Plus members.

0:09.0

This is the story of Marie Curie, Part 2. I covered part one in bonus episode number 87,

0:19.0

which included the fascinating history of pitch blend, uranium,

2:14.0

and she'll change her last name to Curie when she later marries Pierre Curie.

2:21.3

But to minimize confusion, I'll simply refer to her as Marie or Marie Curie for the rest of this episode.
