Radiolab summary:
“Six years ago, a new infection began popping up in four different hospitals on three different continents, all around the same time. It wasn’t a bacteria or a virus. It was … a killer fungus. No one knew where it came from, or why. Today, the story of an ancient showdown between fungus and mammals that started when dinosaurs disappeared from the earth. Back then, the battle swung in our favor (spoiler alert!) and we’ve been hanging onto that win ever since.
