This week we explore why body farms are incredibly cool but also super duper gross. Buckle in, this one's grizzly but oh-so important. We talk about the study of what happens after a body dies and the incredible people who helped us discover it.

There's no time like the present to support us on Patreon!

Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you've never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn!

If you've got a strange question you want answered ask us on Facebook, tweet us @StrangerStill, or drop us an email at [email protected]. To find other great podcasts, head on over to FlyingMachine.Network
