Death and Friends

By Nash Flynn, Angel Luna, KnaveryInk

Have you ever wondered about death? Sure you have - after all, you're not Keanu Reeves, probably. As it turns out, humans have gotten pretty good at dying over the course of history - and we've really... more

May 30, 2024 S5 E10 | True Crime Time Part 2: William Henry Bury and The 13 Hour Criminal Trial
On the back door of the flat, chalk graffiti says “JACK RIPPER IS AT THE BACK OF THIS DOOR” and no one is mentioning that at all in the police headquarters. Join Nash and Angel as they try to parse out the most confusingly planned crime of the century, and decide for yourself whether Jack the Ripper abandoned cheery old East End London for small-town Scotland to murder his own wife.
Okay, if he were Jack the Ripper, though, wouldn’t it have been easier to murder her in Whitechapel and frame the notorious serial killer? Even if he was Jack the Ripper?? But if he wasn’t Jack the Ripper, then why did he basically admit he was?? This, this right here - exactly why we hate true crime.

May 16, 2024 S5 E9 | True Crime Time Pt 1: Hide Your Wives (In A Large, Weirdly Empty Trunk You Have For No Reason): William Henry Bury, The Time He Maybe Definitely Killed His Wife, and Was Maybe Jack the Ripper
It’s true crime o’clock, and in today’s episode, Angel and Nash find themselves in Scotland, in a basement flat, with the body of a woman in a trunk. She definitely didn’t put herself there, and the guy that did is currently at the Dundee Police Station telling them he didn’t kill her, but he did shove her in there five days ago, and maybe he’s also admitting to being Jack the Ripper? Join the team as they try to parse out maybe the stupidest, maybe the smartest crime of the century in the first part of a chaotic story. This venn diagram is a circle!

May 02, 2024 S5 E8 | Back to the Future: The Other Pandemic That Almost Ended The Modern World - The Spanish Flu
A pandemic AND a world war?? Wow, that sounds really hard. We wouldn’t know anything about that today, because we solved medicine and warfare, thankfully. Phew!
Oh wait, just kidding. In today’s completely hashtag-relatable episode, come hear Nash and Angel learn about the other time these things happened in tandem - and why the 1910s were not better at coping at basically everything. Also, this entire thing is probably Kansas’s fault, despite the name “Spanish Flu”. So that’s… fun?

April 18, 2024 S5 E7 | Do You Smell What The Rocks Are Cooking? Surprise, It’s Death!: A History of The Paris
Angel and Nash are enjoying a lovely holiday in Paris. Or they would be, if they could expense it. Since they can’t, join them as they deep dive on the city’s catacombs and how they came to be. Hey, if you thought the bone mudslides of early Plymouth Colony (The First Thanksgiving Episode) were fun, we bet you’ll love this! (Hint: Yeah, more bone mudslides!)
In other news, we’d like to formally apologize for our French accents. We’re bad at them, and yes, we feel bad. Not enough to change (just like your toxic ex) but enough to ask you to stay (also like your toxic ex).

April 04, 2024 S5 E6 | Baby Fight Club: Medical Doctors versus Midwives
Oh good, men are taking over women’s medicine. And history. And body autonomy. And political rights. And whatever else this list doesn’t have on it already. Ladies, get ready to hear the unfortunate true story of how 19th century men think the female brain works and how they forced their way into childbirth after a millennia of pretending they couldn’t hear babies being born.
Look, medical science is great and all, and we truly appreciate modern healthcare, or we would if we could afford to have seen a doctor in the last 4 years. (This podcast takes place in the U.S.) But getting here…wasn’t always the best look. Dr James Marion Sims is in this episode, and …well, that’s your warning.

Back to Egypt! And this time we don't make fun of anyone... okay so we make a little fun... alright we gave it an honest try. Come learn why monotheism can be bad sometimes (all the time), now with 30% more desert. Nash and Angel also learn why having a super hot supportive girlfriend (Nefertiti) can lead to international conflict and historical erasure.

Did you ever wonder why the ghost of your grandmother keeps harassing you with the local cats? No? Well maybe it’s because you stopped writing her letters. Join Nash and Angel as they learn all about why the living are terrified of the dead, and what you could maybe do about it. Also Harry Houdini is in the episode in a way you would not see coming. Yay, magic!

February 08, 2024 S5 E3 | Ashes to Nash’s, Baby: A History of Cremation
Ever wondered why people started setting dead people on fire? We sure have! Our therapist says this isn’t a healthy thing to wonder, but what do they know? They haven’t studied ANY of the history of cremation, so we aren’t super inclined to take their opinion on this.

This isn’t a fun episode, per se, so just… go in knowing that. Well. Most of it IS fun, but there’s a section that is deeply unfun. I mean, it’s fun for an episode about burning dead bodies… you know what? You decide for yourself, and let us know.

January 25, 2024 S5 E2 | Cut My Life into Pieces: History of the Autopsy
Let's go back to Egypt (and other places!) for the original "show me what you're made of." How far back? *checks notes* Pretty damn far. Let’s talk about the origins of looking inside your bits (non derogatory) and how it’s done.
