    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.

    Famous Last Words: "Et Tu Brute, My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death, one or the other of us has to go & I'm just going outside I may be some time" - all brilliant final words. We'd all like to think that when we go, we'll impart some sort of cosmic wisdom destined to be repeated down the ages, but the reality can be far more mundane. In this episode Andy and Brian explore some of the lesser known final words of the great and the good.

    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.

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.

    Faking Your Own Death: We’ve all thought about it. Whats the universal cure for Money troubles, relationship problems, or a reluctance to sit throught a nativity play. Yes, faking your own death. In this episode Andy & Brian discuss a legend of the pretending your dead game, John Darwin AKA The Canoe Man and a 18th Century merchant who attended his own funeral for a laugh. They also go down a bit of a cul-de-sac about the ‘Big Light’ and this week's historical death isn’t for the faint hearted.
