29: Rotten Royals (ft. handsome 90s Christian Bale)

Our episode this week starts with the rising of the sun (king) and ends with the waning of the moon (king). Sandwiched in the middle is a collection of botched beheadings and effed-up executions so grim you’ll be glad you’re a nobody. Episode 29 is all about Rotten Royals. Highlights include: the importance of bathing, the truth behind your favourite childhood movie, and why you should never meet your heroes. Our stories are so awful they’ll make you say “Yuck… I love it!” Content warnings: medical procedure, discussions of gore, violence involving animals, executions, death, torture, suicide, homophobia Sources: OMGfacts.com, Tidsskriftet.com, Britannica, Hekoten International Journal of Medical Humanities, Stanford healthcare.org,
