Episode description
Our episode this week starts with the rising of the sun (king) and ends with the waning of the moon (king). Sandwiched in the middle is a collection of botched beheadings and effed-up executions so grim you’ll be glad you’re a nobody. Episode 29 is all about Rotten Royals. Highlights include: the importance of bathing, the truth behind your favourite childhood movie, and why you should never meet your heroes. Our stories are so awful they’ll make you say “Yuck… I love it!”
