January 25, 2018 STIs in Antiquity (Part I)
In the first of two podcasts Emma returns and we look at two prime STI candidates from antiquity. Expect a mixture of scientific detail and the occasional tangent. It'll put you off your dinner and possibly more. This podcast contains mild sexual references and discussions of a frank nature, because it'd be tricky not to given the subject!

In the second podcast we continue looking at all things spooky from Ancient Greece and Rome.

Poltergeists, sweating statues, zombies, UFOs and ghosts all feature as well as my most chilling tale from atinquity. Oh, and even Patrick Swayze. Because Molly... "you in danger girl".
