Welcome to Warts 'n' All, the new podcast from Dr Suzie Edge. Here we are all about human bodies and how we've treated them in life and in death (but mostly in death).

Don't Lick The Rat is a coffin opening story with an extra sting in the rat's tail. Long ago, William Longspee had a ratty friend come to dinner in his vault under Salisbury Cathedral. The rat succumbed to poison, but in their defence, the pair said they had heard the Cathedral Spire was a fine place to visit.
