The Body Show
Listen 50:33
This rebroadcast show is all about the human body – more specifically, what happens to us after we’ve taken our last breath. We’ll look at how dead bodies serve as teachers in medicine and science, we’ll learn about the science of autopsies, we’ll find out what comes of unclaimed bodies, and explore why some religions guard their dead.
It’s a show to die for. Don’t miss it! If you like this episode, leave us a review on iTunes! It helps other people find The Pulse, too.
