Aug 8, 2024 · 52 minD&F&F Ep1 | Medieval Literature and Black Death revisited with Dr. Mary M. Alcaro
Dr. Mary M. Alcaro, a visiting assistant professor of literature at Bryn Mawr College, takes us on a captivating journey through the intersections of plague, trauma, and Middle English texts. This episode kicks off our new interview series with Dr. Alcaro, who shares her path from undergraduate curiosity to a dissertation on the social and psychological effects of the Black Death. Through her fascinating insights, we uncover the profound influence of the plague on language and its lasting impact on literary theory and the history of medicine. Filled with humor and introspection, this conversation shines a new light on medieval literature and its contemporary relevance. Our discussion takes a closer look at Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Book of the Duchess," highlighting how Chaucer subtly addresses the plague's impact without explicitly mentioning it. Dr. Alcaro explains the use of terms like "wound" to reflect the collective suffering of the audience, drawing intriguing parallels to modern-day euphemisms and the language of trauma. We also explore the concept of a "history of omission," where what is left unsaid can be as revealing as what is recorded, and how language evolves in response to shared traumatic experiences. This episode offers a thought-provoking examination of how literary works navigate the complexities of human grief and communal memory. Rounding out the episode, we delve into the unexpected connections between medieval melancholia and modern-day humor, uncovering tales that resonate with contemporary comedic sensibilities. Dr. Alcaro reflects on the historical context of forced positivity during pandemics, drawing parallels to our recent experiences with COVID-19. We contemplate the long-term impacts of the pandemic on literature and society, pondering how themes of disease, isolation, and sensory perception might shape future works.

S5 · E12Jul 25, 2024 · 39 minS5 E12 | Teenage Lobotomy: Walter Freeman and the Ice Pick
DISCLAIMER: Hi everybody, this is Angel. A quick reminder, Death and Friends is not a podcast for the light of heart. Dark and serious subjects may come up. Listener discretion is advised. This episode, we talk about a different kind of death. If you read the title and thought, "oh i like The Ramones," clearly this will be light hearted. It is not. Not even a little bit. Attempts at jokes will be made, but quite frankly considering how much mental health treatment still has to go. This one is a downright bummer. We are a comedy podcast and if you've stuck around from the start, you know that we are committed to providing space to learning about death in a context that doesn’t feel as scary as the world does sometimes. Today’s episode, like all the past and future ones, is no different, and we will continue to use our collective space to examine these explorations even in the face of the worst humanity has to offer. As a reminder, death can be tricky to talk about. So remember: you are loved, you matter, and we will always be happy to be your friend. Description: What if a Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for a procedure that ended up causing more harm than good? Join us as we uncover the dark and often bizarre history of early brain surgery, particularly the infamous lobotomy. We dig into the strange and unsettling world of António Egas Moniz, the so-called father of psychosurgery, whose methods have left a controversial legacy. You'll also hear about the misguided experiments conducted by Yale neuroscientist John Fulton on chimpanzees, which influenced human mental health treatments in unexpected ways. Don't worry, we'll navigate this grim terrain with our signature humor to keep things approachable. In another fascinating chapter, we explore how a seemingly promising medical procedure backfired, worsening the patient's condition, yet bizarrely led to its originator receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. We also delve into the quirks and peculiarities of this famous figure's life, sharing amusing anecdotes and creative metaphors that shed light on his personality. To wrap up, we reflect on the procedure's impact and the intriguing character behind it, ensuring a mix of thought-provoking insights and light-hearted moments.

Join us as we unravel the extraordinary life of Jessica Mitford, starting from her birth in 1917 Oxfordshire, England, amidst a family infamous for their fascist leanings and Nazi sympathies. Listen in as we recount the unsettling history of the Mitford family, including her father's fascist tendencies, her sister Diana's marriage to British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley, and the disturbing ambition of another sister, Unity, who sought to marry Hitler. Through a mix of humor and horror, we navigate Jessica's defiance against her family's ideologies, painting a vivid picture of her early years. In this episode, we also explore Jessica Mitford's adventurous and rebellious spirit, which led her to flee to Spain with Winston Churchill's nephew, Esmond Romilly, to fight fascism. Their marriage, move to the U.S., and the birth of their daughter Constancia, nicknamed Dinky, set the stage for a life filled with resilience and activism. We delve into her significant contributions to civil rights, her staunch stance before the House Committee of Un-American Activities, and her eventual disillusionment with the Communist Party, all of which highlight her relentless pursuit of justice. Finally, we turn our attention to Jessica's groundbreaking exposé on the funeral industry with her book "The American Way of Death." We discuss her and her husband Robert's uncovering of manipulative practices within the industry, the resulting public outrage, and the impact of federal regulations in 1975. The episode wraps up with practical advice on funeral planning and reflections on the ongoing issues in the funeral business, emphasizing Jessica Mitford's legacy as a fearless critic of capitalist exploitation.
