Get in Geoffs! We’ve got a lot to cover! Madison is starting us off with a lesson on consent as she discusses the unfortunate live autopsy of David Sonders. Next, Spencer is taking us down under to discuss mermaid corpses…who knew there was such a thing…well maybe. We’ve got an obituary that humanizes disease, and one that was pretty…abrupt. OH, and we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminalllllls!
