  • 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.

    Bubonic Plague: Starting with the Black Death in 1346 and reappearing sporadically until the 1600s the Bubonic Plague really is one of the worst diseases known to humanity. Were rats really to blame though? Where did we get the word Quarantine from? Did the Mongols invent chemical warfare by firing plague victims off trebuchets into besieged castles? All this and more answered in this episode.
