Aaron is still in the underworld, so Lisa and Marie went and recorded an episode without him. This week 2 out of 3 Dead Kids are back with a (bong) rip roaring episode about BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA!! Honestly I know they didn’t make that many weed jokes, but that was what I had planned to do when we talked about this topic because I am a juvenile idiot, so it’s like I’m there in spirit. Anyways… this week the girls sat down and discussed dry bone versus fresh bone breaks, some biomechanical factors influencing fracture patterns, blunt force to different parts of the body and a few different examples of blunt force trauma. Apparently coconuts are a leading cause of blunt force trauma on tropical beaches - allegedly. There are a lot of cool factoids in this one, folks!

Have you ever wondered what to do with that bunch of bones sitting in your charnel house or catacombs? Are you glum because they’re just going to waste? Well Turin those Shrownds (frowns) upside down because this is the episode for you! In a very special multi-continental episode of the Dead Kids Club, the kids talk about different types of relics, lavishly decorated skeletons, Jesus’ blanket and a witch who just wanted to make their bones by dealing bones. If you’re worried that sounds like too much high-brow learning for you - fear not - Jesus’ middle name and his penis and balls are also topics that we talk about.

Sorry if the sound sucks, the internet in the underworld is kinda bad.

Squeaky clean and bubo-free after our baths, the Dead Kids are back with a second installment about the Black Death! This time we talk about some of the social ramifications of the disease, underqualified monks, as well as a quaint little English village where people have an annual plague parade. Mostly we are just fixated on the whole bathing in pisswater thing. If any of these things strike your fancy, tune in to hear the exciting conclusion to our exploration of the plague!

I know what you’re thinking and no this isn’t another penis-centric episode! All three Dead Kids are back in town to tell you about the Black Plague - one of history’s most famous killers! This week we detail the origins of the plague, all the different varieties of the disease and how it spread across Eurasia so quickly. We also discuss how ridiculous names for sores sound kind of like Disney characters, biological warfare (both early and modern), shitty architecture and a man who was bitten by a cat with the plague. Fun facts for the whole family in this rambling adventure!

Settle down, grab a popcorn, and listen to the dead kids tell you all about how nature recycles bodies. In this episode, Lisa and Marie take a detailed route through the process of decomposition from stiffness, through balloon penises, to the purge. It’s a load of smells, fluids, and macabre imagery so you’ll definitely love this one. To lighten the mood the girls also discuss how awfully stereotypically European Marie is. So let us know how much you enjoyed this episode of disgusting content and don’t forget to rate and review!

This week, the Dead Kids discuss art and objects made from human remains. We’ll cover witch nests, stolen bones, and face masks made from other people’s face skin. Listen along for tales of blindness-curing bone pyramids, atrocious war crimes, ashy art pieces and more. Join the Dead Kids on their exploration of the final resting places of our fellow humans, whether it be in a seaside antique shop or the basement of a spooky cocktail bar. Just remember, when considering your next human remains purchase: provenance is key!(or just don’t do it) And rate, review, and subscribe!

For our 10th episode we have a special treat for you! We persuaded our good friend and colleague Jose Garay to educate us on his homeland of Puerto Rico. Join Lisa and Marie on this emotional rollercoaster about death in Puerto Rico, from the tragic aftermath of hurricane Maria to the brilliant and hilarious new trends in Puerto Rican funerary practices. This one will make you a whole lot smarter (well definitely made us).

HA! GET IT? Donner DONAIR?? Yeah you’re smart, you get it. Today we talk about eating people. Some people do it for necessity, some do it for cultural reasons and others do it just for the hell of it! We cover the Donners, actually horrifying criminals eating people, cannibalism in archaeology and anthropology and Kinky Kannibalism. So grab a snack from your favourite meat-on-a-spit place, slather it in donair sauce and join as as we tuck into this meaty second helping of cannibalism talk.

Today we talk about eating people. Some people do it for necessity, some do it for cultural reasons and others do it just for the hell of it! We cover dinner party disasters, actually horrifying criminals eating people, the history of cannibalism, and whether or not the Dead Kids would ever eat a person. So grab your favourite ASS (after school snack, of course) and have a listen. (Note: we accidentally made a 2 hour episode this time, so we’re breaking it up over two weeks to keep you hungry for more!)

Lisa, Marie and Aaron are back with our boy Gunther as he does a more traditional autopsy. This time though, a woman is made to uncomfortably stand naked on stage while Gunther and the other guy poke and prod a body on a table. People in the audience are very sweaty. I don’t really remember what we talked about in this one because I ate too much pizza and had too many Pimms cups. Sorry folks, this one is more rambling about nothing rather than discussing Gunther’s autopsy prowess. Again if you want to follow along - YouTube: Anatomy for Beginners - Lesson 2: Circulation. It’s graphic, in case you forgot what an autopsy is.
