Let me take you back to Georgian Britain, to an underworld where the goods bartered were human bodies and discover a darker side to medical history  ‘Body Snatching’ - a subject that only makes it into the history books, if you’re lucky.

From anatomy riots, and bodies being hidden in dung heaps,  to finding cadavers stuffed into barrels and being transported throughout Britain, this is a true-crime podcast with a difference.  

Forget the murderers' Burke and Hare, in this podcast, I’m going to share with you tales of real body snatchers - the type of men that history forgot. 

My name’s Suzie Lennox and I have an unhealthy obsession with the Georgian Underworld and a darker side to medical history and the forgotten art of body snatching.

I’m also the author behind the website diggingup1800.com where I write about the men who dug up cadavers for a living and sold them to the anatomy schools of Georgian Britain, where I share with you the best sites to visit to still see relics from this darker past and discover that no graveyard was safe from a visit from the resurrection men. 

And now I’m hosting a podcast, where I hope to make my blog posts available to a wider audience. 

Join me as I chat with medical historians, fellow authors and continue to dig deeper into this macabre practice. 

Catch up with me on social media @diggingup1800 where I take a closer look at what actually happened during the dissecting season
