About this episode

<p>Close your eyes and drift back to the 19th century — when gold fever burned hot, hygiene was optional, and beans were your only friend. In this slow, cozy history story, we explore the harsh, itchy, and surprisingly bean-heavy reality of the Gold Rush. No treasure maps here. Just mud, regret, and very questionable breakfast. Perfect for sleeping, dozing, or gentle time travel.</p>
