Join Ruth, Katy, Jo, and Chris (and Vinnie the cat) as we travel back to the 1820s and the dank world of body snatching. Gangs of resurrectionists roam the graveyards of the country, digging up the corpses of the recently deceased and selling them to top surgeons and eager medical students. Grim stuff, for sure! But was this a necessary horror in the service of medical advancement? Let’s see what the podcasters make of it. A small tangent about a circus act gone wrong sends things off into an inappropriate spiral, and we drink a cocktail from a very unusual receptacle. What fun!
