Grave Mortality

Nikki Shattuck and Brit Murphy

Grave Mortality is a darkly fascinating exploration of public health’s shadowy past, and the unsettling truths that still shape the world we live in today. From strange medical practices and misunderstood diseases to the psychology behind human behavior and the systems that failed the people they were meant to protect, each episode unearths the stories buried beneath modern health and society. Equal parts eerie, educational, and unexpectedly funny, Grave Mortality digs into the moments where science, fear, power, and survival collide — proving that the foundations of our world were often built on something far darker than we realize.
