804: Halloween Special-Decapitation-a terrible place to beheaded

In the annual Halloween special, Dr’s J and Santhosh lose their heads over decapitation! Along the way, they cover the pronunciation of gibbet, the halifax slidey axe, the guillotine inventor, attending a public execution, souvenir guillotines, newgate novels, wave of death, post beheading consciousness, headless chickens, the story of professor Mcdowell, ecmo, and more! So sit back and relax as we fill your head with all the science about losing it!
