  • 65: Mummies and their cursed bacteria
    Oct 31 2023

    We've resurfaced - just in time for Halloween. 

    Welcome friends, as Sarah and Dr. Kelly discuss all things mummy -- the hotness in the movies, how mummies were made, why they're so cool, and the curses those hilariously macabre victorians inevitably unleashed upon our earth.
