Meat Honey and the Church of Horrors

Get your tickets for The Live Show here! Beneath the stone floors of a London church, a chilling discovery sent Victorian society into a frenzy—and now you get to peek inside this hidden vault. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the grotesque 1849 mystery hidden under the Church of Holy Trinity in the Minories. Was it a forgotten crypt, or something far more disturbing? Then, buzz into the bizarre with the vulture bee: nature’s most metal insect. It doesn’t just collect nectar—it makes meat honey. Well, sort of... from rotting flesh. Sweet and savory have never sounded more unholy. Expect unexpected twists, grim curiosity, and insect behavior that might ruin lunch. It’s history, science, and the delightfully morbid all in one box. #BoxOfOddities #WeirdHistory #MeatHoney #DarkHumor #TrueWeird Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
