TZIH: Devonshire St Cemetery - FYI There's a Bunch Of Dead Bodies Under Central Station


Listen Later

It's still spooky season, so Josie tells Mel all about the graves that weren't deleted from Devonshire St cemetery - and how they just went ahead and built Central Station on top of them anyway.

Wine pairing: Extremely alcoholic Take It To Your Grave Pinot Noir in a can.

Want to skip the zest? Killjoy. Head straight to 16:50.
