Just Put Some Vicks On It

Julia never had a reason to wonder why grandma loved Vicks so much, but this episode reveals that grandma’s love for the product is deeper than Julia imagined. And while investigating grandma’s (and the world’s) Vicks obsession, Julia is pulled into her family’s past, back to Cuba, before the revolution.

This story originally aired on Only Human, a show about health from WNYC Studios.
