    Death and Friends

    Have you ever wondered about death? Sure you have – after all, you’re not Keanu Reeves, probably. As it turns out, humans have gotten pretty good at dying over the course of history – and we’ve really committed to the bit in a lot of (death)ways. Join comedians Nash Flynn and Angel Luna on a world history tour of death and dying. What’s the worst that could happen?

    Show notes

    Witness the eerie and transformative events of 1347 as we unravel the tale of the bubonic plague's chilling arrival in Europe. Experience the vivid imagery of ghostly ships docking in Sicily, their crews ravaged by disease, and understand the catastrophic spread that wiped out a third of Europe's population. We trace the plague's origins from Mongolia, detailing its journey through trade routes and the harrowing siege of Caffa, where early biological warfare was infamously deployed. This episode highlights the Western-centric nature of historical records while emphasizing the profound human suffering endured during this dark period.


    Draw fascinating parallels between the medieval and modern responses to pandemics, exploring quarantine practices that have remarkably stood the test of time. Discover the etymology of "quarantine" and learn about historical efforts to curb the plague, from isolating ships to preventing visitors. We also confront the grim resurgence of anti-Semitism during the pandemic, debunk myths like "Ring Around the Rosie," and recount the receding of the virus. To balance the gravity of the topic, we lighten the mood with humor, celebrating love, friendship, and even sharing some playful banter, making the discussion of death more approachable and engaging.
