Warning: This episode on instruments designed solely to produce extreme human suffering during the Middle Ages in Europe is very graphic in nature. Seriously, if you're squeamish, maybe pass on this one.
Join Josh and Chuck as they dive into the dark and gruesome world of medieval torture devices from Europe's Middle Ages. In this particularly brutal episode, they explore ten of history's most diabolical contraptions - from the brazen bull and iron maiden to the rack and scavenger's daughter - examining how these instruments of suffering reflected the violent, inventive cruelty of the era. Along the way, they play a fun game identifying which torture device names have been adopted by heavy metal bands, adding a bit of levity to an otherwise deeply disturbing topic.
