Tarrare: The Hungry Hungry Soldier

from Light Your Bunsen Burner · host Mariela Rosas/Jonah Baker

It's the late 1700's in France and a different reign of terror is underway for the cats and dogs that happen to cross Tarrare's path. Join us as we gorge ourselves on the story of one of the most bizarre medical marvels of that era. Tarrare's unique ability took him from street performer and pickpocket to experimental guinea pig and French spy. But the whole ordeal left the gross young man with a pit in his stomach and possibly a golden fork.
