Ep. 13: People Soup, Bed Pans, and the Dark Secrets of Nursery Rhymes

Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions! After a heavy few weeks, we are ready to dive into something a bit more nostalgic—though, as it turns out, our childhood memories are actually incredibly dark.This week, we explore the twisted origins of famous nursery rhymes and common sayings. We take a look at the "warming pan" theory behind Rock-a-Bye Baby, which—let’s be honest—sounds way too much like a bed pan, sending us into an absolute laughing fit.We also discuss the gross reality of the saying "Throw the baby out with the bathwater." After hearing how they used to share bathwater, we've officially renamed it "People Soup."  From the plague-ridden history of Three Blind Mice to the grim theories behind London Bridge Falling Down and the creepy origin of a "Dead Ringer," we realise that our parents were basically singing us horror stories.Tune in as we try to lift the mood while ruining your childhood, one rhyme at a time!Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.con.pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Facebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/
