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. 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. Thanks for listening! Give in to your morbid curiosity and join us.
