Biswa Kalyan Rath and Kumar Varun

Comedians Biswa Kalyan Rath and Kumar Varun are friends and self-confessed trivia enthusiasts. The funny men have decided to channel their passion for history into a podcast called 2 past 2 curious. The first episode lasted 40 minutes and tackled epidemics from a historical perspective. The hosts speak about the various diseases that afflicted the human race, including the plague of Justinian, the great plague of London, the bubonic plague, yellow fever, chicken pox, Spanish flu, HIV, cholera, etc.
