65: OBITCH class is in session...

That’s right Geoffs put on those learning caps because summer is over and it’s time to go back to school. Your favorite professors are taking you through the concept of promession and the backstory behind the wild discovery of some bejeweled remains! We’ve got an obituary for our obituary hall of fame, and one who’s name made us hungry, and of course we’ve got some dumba.ass.criminallllls!

New episodes come out every Thursday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.
