Leonarda Cianciulli: The Soap-Maker of Correggio

What do you get when you mix superstition, serial murder, and homemade soap?

Ep. 2 The emu war of 1932

You ever hear about the time Australia declared war on… a bunch of giant birds? Yeah. That’s not a joke. In this episode of Burnt Toast Club, we spark up and dive into one of the weirdest military operations in history: the Emu War. Real soldiers. Real machine guns. Real emus… who won. We get into how it started, what went hilariously wrong, and why this feathery fiasco still hits way too close to home today. Why do governments always think more firepower = more control? Why are birds so unbothered? And would you have surrendered if you were an emu? Grab your toast, hit play, and let’s talk about the war they don’t teach in school—but absolutely should.
