Dr. John Troyer is the Death Studies Scholar at Large and Overlord of Death in the Centre for Death and Society at the University of Bath in the UK. He's also the co-founder of the Death Reference Desk website, the Future Cemetery Project, and a frequent commentator for the BBC. His most recent book Technologies of the Human Corpse was published by The MIT Press in May 2020.
On this episode, we tackle a very controversial topic - necrophilia. We talk about famous cases, laws in the US and other parts of the world, the future of these laws... all the things you've ever wanted to learn about but felt too weird to Google. Enjoy!
