Ep. 33: Medieval-ish Torture

from The Tales We Tell · host Hannah Partsch

What could be worse than having all your joints dislocated or being roasted alive? How about being slowly impaled through an number or orifices? Eaten alive by vermin while you poop yourself to death? Fortunately, you don't have to wonder, because we have compiled ten of the worst ways to (hopefully) die, as thought of by all the people/civilizations that came before us. Join us, as Hannah forces Katy to guess the gruesome uses of these "medieval" devices, and the girls learn that most of them are not technically medieval after all. This one is gnarly, so don't let the kids listen, and pour a strong one! Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture#:~:text=Medieval%20and%20early%20modern%20Europeanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_chairhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_(torture) https://allthatsinteresting.com/rat-torture-methodhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazen_bullhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_(torture)https://historycollection.com/20-facts-about-excruciating-methods-of-execution-and-torture-in-history/12/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenger%27s_daughterhttps://historycollection.com/20-of-the-slowest-historical-torture-methods-we-cant-believe-living-souls-had-to-endure/5/https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/11/07/the-pear-of-anguish-medieval-torture-device-used-against-women-accused-of-witchcraft/https://allthatsinteresting.com/pear-of-anguishhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumbscrew_(torture)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphism#:~:text=Scaphism%2C%20also%20known%20as%20the,(or%20hollowed)%20out%22. https://culturacolectiva.com/history/scaphism-ancient-persian-torture-method-with-milk-and-honeySupport the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!
