Death and FriendsS5 E12 | Teenage Lobotomy: Walter Freeman and the Ice PickDISCLAIMER:
Hi everybody, this is Angel. A quick reminder, Death and Friends is not a podcast for the light of heart. Dark and serious subjects may come up. Listener discretion is advised.
This episode, we talk about a different kind of death. If you read the title and thought, "oh i like The Ramones," clearly this will be light hearted. It is not. Not even a little bit. Attempts at jokes will be made, but quite frankly considering how much mental health treatment still has to go. This one is a downright bummer.

Cocktails & CapitalismHow Victorian Capitalism Ruined Funerals with Nash Flynn (& the Death and Friends Cocktail)We’re joined by comedian and historian Nash Flynn, who had us laughing hysterically throughout this dark story about funeral rituals.

Nash Flynn is one of the two hosts of the Death and Friends podcast – a comedy show that deals with death and its relation to history, culture, and art. She also cohosts a new podcast called Tomorrow, Today...

Here, we unravel the absurdity of the government deploying the military to tackle an emu invasion on farmlands awarded to post-war veterans. With Major G.P.W. Meredith at the helm, this bizarre episode underscores the extreme measures taken during the Great Depression. The emu onslaught wreaked havoc on wheat fields, and the government's unfulfilled promises of subsidies left farmers desperate, turning this unique conflict into a humorous yet desperate battle against nature's feathered marauders.
