Listeners, usually our episodes are about greedy individuals searching for immortality to satisfy their own need for glory. Rarely do we get to share a story of those who are seeking eternity in an attempt to benefit their own version of the greater good. Today might just be that tale.

Sokushinbutsu: Self Mummification

Join us, intrepid listeners, as we journey through the compelling, odd, and sometimes horrific lengths people will go to in hopes of  achieving eternal life. We’ll hear what--and who--the subjects of our stories were willing to sacrifice to possibly gain a few more years of youth and beauty and life. And we’ll all ask the question: how far would you take the hunt if you were chasing immortality?
