Kyle and Emily get grave this week, discussing what might become of them after they have shuffled off this mortal coil, and digging into the history of the word mortsafe.
This Victorian invention has our hosts asking a delightfully macabre question: Do we need to keep the living safe from the dead… or the dead safe from the living? Turns out Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was more a product of its time than you thought!
Kyle takes us through a time when every graveyard and every coffin was at risk, from that most frightening villain of them all: the ambitious medical student. Emily learns just how dire the pursuit of anatomy can get, even leading to murder most foul.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
