In 1816, the sun disappeared over the United States. Not for a day, not for a week—for nearly an entire year, the sky stayed dim, the ground stayed frozen, and summer never came. Crops failed. Snow fell in July. People starved, fled, or spiraled into fear, with no idea what was happening.
This podcast tells the true story behind that lost summer: how a volcanic eruption on the other side of the world triggered a global climate crisis, how it plunged American towns into chaos, and how that darkness sparked mass migration, cultural revolutions, and inventions born from desperation.
