The human body is a beautiful and miraculous thing, that can achieve unbelievable feats and at the same time have every cell and system operating without us even noticing.

This is not that story.

Today we are going to discuss the many quirks and ‘errors’ of our bodies- things evolution didn’t get around to fixing.

Today we cover skulls and brain injuries, the worst case of skull injury I’ve ever heard in my life, our ribs which can be broken by coughing alone (and are pointy little organ impalers), the nose which is just a protruding blood bucket, and the spine. Oh, the spine!

Join me as we talk shit about the flaws in the bodies we all possess, but we also do so with love and appreciation.

Today we dust off the records and scrolls of the Vatican, to get to the bottom of who the historical Giulia Tofana was. We also visit the ‘criminal magical underworld’ of 17th Century Europe, and I want to stay there forever.

This is Part 2 of La Tofania, legendary poisoner, beauty maven, and Momager.

Giulia Tofana ran a very successful poison ring in 17th Century Italy, and her legend is still talked about today. She is called a martyr for abused women and an early feminist. But the folklore that swirls around her memory is full of disinformation and tall tales.

Yes, she really did kill people. Over 600 men, allegedly. But was she a patron saint of the abused? Which parts of her story are real, and which have been exaggerated over time?

Today we dive in to the story of La Tofania, and extract the truth from this whole sordid saga ,that spans three generations of women in the same family. We also discuss the Kylie Lip Kit of 17th Century Rome which was Giulia’s infamous Aqua Tofana. This story is insane, ya’ll. Oh and there’s a special cameo by Messy Boots Mozart, so there’s that.
