Podcast:Wicked Words - A True Crime Talk Show with Kate Winkler Dawson Rating: Explicit Published On: Mon Jan 25 2021 Description: In 1827 William Burke and William Hare, both poor immigrants from Ireland, enter into a business partnership. When a lodger at Hare’s boarding house suddenly dies the pair meets Dr. Robert Knox, one of the world’s most sought-after anatomy professors. Knox needs cadavers to teach classes to future surgeons—just like anatomy professors today. Burke and Hare earn more money with one body than a year’s worth of wages. But now…they need more bodies.Written, researched, and hosted by Kate Winkler Dawson/producers Jason Wehling and Laura Sobel/sound designer Eric Friend/composer Curtis Heath/web designer Ilsa BrinkSupport this podcast by shopping our latest sponsor deals and promotions at this link: https://bit.ly/4dsqzI1Subscribe to my newsletter: tenfoldmorewicked.com Buy my books: katewinklerdawson.comIf you have suggestions for historical crimes that could use some attention, email me: info@tenfoldmorewicked.com Follow me on social: @tenfoldmore (Twitter) / @tenfoldmorewicked (Facebook and Instagram)See my sources here: tenfoldmorewicked.com 2021 All Rights Reserved See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
