My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm John Dundee who solemnly swear to uphold the Constitution of the state of Montana against all enemies, foreign and domestic featuring an all-star cast led by Academy Award winner Kevin Costner.

The invasion is over. They will fight you dirty. Is there any other way? As the Dutton family fights to protect their legacy, they'll learn power has a price.

Sign in as a declaration of war. We're already at war.

Yellowstone, new episodes, Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern exclusively on Paramount Network.

Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History class, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm Tracy V Wilson and I'm Holly Fry.

We've gotten a lot of requests over the years to do an episode about the Coconut Grove Nightclub fire and I have really, really put off doing it because of all the different types of disasters there are to research.

For me, the fires are the worst ones there. They're bad. Yeah, they're bad. We can talk about reasons why on Friday and the behind the scenes, but the Coconut Grove fire came up not long ago on our episode on Charles Ponzi because his wife Rose worked there.

She went to work there after he had been deported back to Italy, but she was not at work that night. So I thought about moving it on to the list then after it had come up. And as I was looking at it, I realized this year is the fires 80th anniversary. It happened on November 28th, 1942.

This is still the deadliest nightclub fire in history. And in terms of single building fires, it is the second deadliest in United States history. The deadliest was the Iricoid Theater fire in Chicago.

That happened on December 30th of 1903 and we covered that fire on this show on December 8th of 2014. As we will discuss though, there are a lot of lessons from the Iricoid Theater fire that had not been heated at Coconut Grove almost 40 years later.

Coconut Grove, often known just as the Grove, was at 17 Piedmont Street in Boston, Massachusetts with an entrance set behind a trio of archways.

It's the may have been inspired by the Coconut Grove Nightclub at the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Boston's Coconut Grove had opened in 1927 in what had previously been a garage and warehouse. Over time, it had been built on and expanded and remodeled. And by 1942, the club had this kind of odd almost zigzag shape.
