Unusual Deaths & The Dark History Of Execution

As humanity advances towards social progress, the act of public execution has gotten increasingly subtle. Rather than capital punishment via guillotine, we now have public shaming and murders of reputation. Has anything really changed or are we still metaphorically gathering at the local hanging tree at midnight?

Join The Wolf and Bull in episode 21 as they discuss how the history of executions has transformed over the years. Is cruel and unusual social punishment more appropriate than gruesome ends that may "fit the crime"? Additionally, they also discuss, along with the topic of death, the history of unusual deaths. In a world, so content with preventing the inevitable, sometimes it’s just best to accept that you're not Aeschylus and move on with your life.
