221 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 59 ratings

Buckle up and get ready as I delve into a variety of topics regarding physical beauty.

We'll take a look at our society's obsession with physical beauty and the consequences these impossible beauty standards have had on us.
Let's face it; this fascination regarding physical beauty and body image isn't a recent phenomenon; it has been around for centuries, crossing borders, and has affected men and women alike.
The realization of this podcast has come about by my own experiences having to deal with society's perverse notion of physical "perfection" and researching an array of topics that have intrigued me over the years.

October 22, 2021 10:00 - 24 minutes - 28.6 MB

In this episode, we're going to look at what it was like to be a body collector during The Great Mortality. Are. You. Ready? LISTENERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED Article: https://www.ranker.com/list/b...

October Madness: Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter are to blame!

October 18, 2021 08:15 - 10 minutes - 13.1 MB

Our ancestors survived many disasters, which included many different epidemics. In all honesty, with the lack of scientific knowledge, it's surprising that they managed to survive at all! They tried to explain the overwhelming amount of death they saw in different ways. Some said it was the wrath of God or Gods. Others blamed planetary alignments. At the same time, many others processed the carnage through downright bizarre theories. We're going to take a look at some of the theories t...

October Madness: Blame The Fornicators

October 15, 2021 02:00 - 12 minutes - 15 MB

Ever wondered what sex during the Plague was like?  The Black Plague was a stressful time to be alive, for obvious reasons, but people were still people; they were horny, and they engaged in physical relationships. Doctors at the time warned people to avoid overexerting themselves in the "bedroom" because they thought the "bad air" or miasmas would reach them easier if they did.  That didn't stop them! In this fun October Madness episode, we're going to take a look at what sex was li...

October 08, 2021 03:00 - 26 minutes - 30.6 MB

Welcome, ghouls! After coming across multiple articles claiming that the Tartar Army hurled plague-infected dead bodies over the wall of Kaffa in 1347, which resulted in the Genoese contracting and eventually bringing the plague to Europe, it got me thinking. Could this be true? Did the corpse missiles work? Was this the start of germ biowarfare and the primary cause of the Black Death? We're going to answer the age-old question, Can a flying corpse distribute the plague? This episode i...
