I is for Idioms: Buried Alive, Drowned, Maritime Torture...dark origins of the sh*t we say today.

Join the Ladies of Macabre as they get as giddy as school girls, talking about the phrases we commonly use today that are taken for granted and actually have very dark meanings. We thought we’d do something a little dark, but a little bit fun on this episode, considering we have covered a lot of very heavy topics lately. This episode won’t be all kittens and rainbows...but it will be slightly less disturbing...we hope.

Music: Intro: The Worms Crawl In by JackHunterMusic & Outro by Epidemic Sound Ghosted SOOP.
