Ye Olde Executions

Welcome to DEADPOD a weekly podcast about death. Death is a thing that touches all of our lives - it has scared, scarred and mesmerised throughout human history. Join Andy Bush and Brian Murphy as they embark on a journey to explore different aspects of death around the world, in history and pop culture and what it says about us. Whether it be murder mysteries, unsolved crimes, deceased technology, shock deaths in TV soaps or super crazy historical deaths, DEADPOD will satisfy your morbid curiousity. Ye Olde Executions: Thankfully the majority of societies no longer hand out the death penalty but if you were unlucky enough to live in the distant past there were some strange ways to depart this mortal coil. In this episode we explore the Roman pratice of Poena Cullei which involved a sack and a collection of animals, and Schaphism which needed 2 boats and a load of milk and honey. Don't ask. Thanks for listening! Give in to your morbid curiosity and join us.
