In 1755, on a calm All Saints' Day morning, Lisbon was torn apart by one of the most powerful earthquakes in European history. What followed was a deadly cascade of destruction — collapsing buildings, a towering tsunami, and fires that burned the city for days. In this episode, we unpack how a single morning reshaped Lisbon, challenged Enlightenment thinking, and changed the way the world understands natural disaster risk.
