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. This episode comes out on election day in America, so if you’re listening, make sure you go cast a ballot if you haven’t already done so! Give us a rate/review/subscribe on iTunes and we will give you a shout out on the show! Don’t forget we have stickers now to sweeten the deal! As always, you can follow us on Twitter (@deadkidsclubpod) or Instagram (@deadkidsclubpodcast) for more stuff about death and archaeology content! On a far more important note.
