Welcome back to the Franklin and Douglas Podcast, where current events, bizarre headlines, and wildly questionable advice come together for maximum entertainment. In Episode 74, we break down one of the most disturbing and unbelievable news stories in recent memory: Cedric Lodge, the former Harvard Medical School morgue chief, being indicted for allegedly stealing and selling donated cadaver body parts. We discuss what’s been reported, how this case went undetected for years, and why it has shocked both the medical and academic worlds.

 

We also talk about the ethical implications of the case, public reaction, and why stories involving trust, institutions, and human dignity hit differently in the age of nonstop news and social media discourse. It’s unsettling, strange, and impossible to ignore — which makes it exactly the kind of current event we have to talk about.

 

Then we pivot hard into our signature bad advice segment, tackling a much more relatable dilemma: What do you do when your momma’s-boy boyfriend suddenly wants to move in? Boundaries? Red flags? Chaos? Our advice is confident, entertaining, and absolutely not therapist-approved.

 

If you enjoy current events podcasts, true crime-adjacent stories, dark humor, and entertaining commentary, this episode is for you.
