  • サマリー

  • Welcome to History’s Worst Paychecks, the podcast that explores the dirtiest, deadliest, and most absurd jobs throughout history. In our debut episode, we’re heading to ancient Rome, where one of the empire’s most essential industries was powered by something truly unexpected—human urine.

    Before fancy detergents, the Romans relied on a powerful natural cleaning agent: ammonia. And where did they get it? That’s right—pee. But someone had to collect it, bucket by bucket, straight from public latrines and chamber pots, and haul it through the city’s bustling streets. It was a job that stank in more ways than one—humiliating, disgusting, and, thanks to Emperor Vespasian, even taxed.

    Join us as we uncover the grim reality of being a Roman urine collector—a profession so foul, so thankless, that even ancient society looked down on it. We’ll dive into the daily horrors of the job, the bizarre urine economy, and the shocking scandals (yes, scandals) that erupted around it. And we’ll answer the ultimate question: how did anyone survive doing this?

    So, if you’ve ever had a bad day at work, just remember—at least no one’s making you collect pee for a living. Tune in now for the first episode of History’s Worst Paychecks!
