Episode 25 - How to pronounce Tycho Brahe in five easy steps (an episode about prosthetics)

Dead Kids Club

Today the Dead Kids come to you from our brand new home in the Rare FM studios, where we can hear the thunderous footsteps of the students upstairs (but hopefully you can’t). In this episode, Lisa, Marie and Aaron talk about all sorts of ancient replacement body parts and the people they belonged to. There are fake toeses and fake noses! There’s even a prosthetic golden eyeball that maybe inspired the name of a beloved N64 classic first person shooter (hint: it definitely didn’t). The kids also talk about the construction of these replacement parts, as well as some of the functional, aesthetic and spiritual reasoning behind their creation. On a far more important note.
