Today we continue to shit talk arguably one of the most miraculous things nature ever created: the human body. It’s a miracle we even exist, but this is not that story.

Today we are going to continue to discuss the many quirks and ‘errors’ of our bodies- things evolution didn’t get around to fixing.

Today we cover the sternum, the neck and throat, the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve, the collarbone, our poor aching joints, knees, the pelvis, testicles, the uterus, sperm, my arch nemesis teeth, the circulatory system, and our backwards installed eyes.

Join me as we talk shit about the flaws in the bodies we all possess, but we also do so with love and appreciation.

The human body is a beautiful and miraculous thing, that can achieve unbelievable feats and at the same time have every cell and system operating without us even noticing.

This is not that story.

Today we are going to discuss the many quirks and ‘errors’ of our bodies- things evolution didn’t get around to fixing.

Today we cover skulls and brain injuries, the worst case of skull injury I’ve ever heard in my life, our ribs which can be broken by coughing alone (and are pointy little organ impalers), the nose which is just a protruding blood bucket, and the spine. Oh, the spine!

Join me as we talk shit about the flaws in the bodies we all possess, but we also do so with love and appreciation.

Today we dust off the records and scrolls of the Vatican, to get to the bottom of who the historical Giulia Tofana was. We also visit the ‘criminal magical underworld’ of 17th Century Europe, and I want to stay there forever.

This is Part 2 of La Tofania, legendary poisoner, beauty maven, and Momager.

Giulia Tofana ran a very successful poison ring in 17th Century Italy, and her legend is still talked about today. She is called a martyr for abused women and an early feminist. But the folklore that swirls around her memory is full of disinformation and tall tales.

Yes, she really did kill people. Over 600 men, allegedly. But was she a patron saint of the abused? Which parts of her story are real, and which have been exaggerated over time?

Today we dive in to the story of La Tofania, and extract the truth from this whole sordid saga ,that spans three generations of women in the same family. We also discuss the Kylie Lip Kit of 17th Century Rome which was Giulia’s infamous Aqua Tofana. This story is insane, ya’ll. Oh and there’s a special cameo by Messy Boots Mozart, so there’s that.

Today is the conclusion of this twisted and bloody tale! We will discuss the link between lycanthropy and lunar cycles, historical cases of lycanthropy, Peter Stumpp in popular culture, werewolves in the media, and all the possible theories of what the fuck was happening in this case, including the one I believe is closest to the truth.

This is Part 3 of the Werewolf of Bedburg.

We are back back back back again, discussing the case of Peter Stumpp!

Today we will cover the witch and werewolf trials of the Middle Ages, the Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches), German witch and werewolf hunters, other werewolf killers of that time period, and we will begin talking about a modern day affliction: Clinical Lycanthropy.

Join me for this weird and Medieval episode!

This case is INSANE in the membrane, get ready for a wild and gruesome ride! Today we are talking about medieval serial killer and convicted werewolf, Peter Stumpp.

Today’s episode has all of my very favorite things: a medieval serial killer, werewolves, medieval torture, clinical psychology, Germany, witch trials, incest, and the list goes on.

In this episode we will cover the original 1590 writings about this case, then break it down into modern day terms. We will also talk about the brutal Catherine’s Wheel, and the history of lycanthropy.

This is part one of three, we have a shitload to cover, and it’s all absolutely fascinating!
