In 1827 William Burke and William Hare, both poor immigrants from Ireland, enter into a business partnership. When a lodger at Hare\u2019s boarding house suddenly dies the pair meets Dr. Robert Knox, one of the world\u2019s most sought-after anatomy professors. Knox needs cadavers to teach classes to future surgeons\u2014just like anatomy professors today. Burke and Hare earn more money with one body than a year\u2019s worth of wages. But now\u2026they need more bodies.\nWritten, researched, and hosted by Kate Winkler Dawson/producers Jason Wehling and Laura Sobel/sound designer Eric Friend/composer Curtis Heath/web designer Ilsa Brink\n\nSupport this podcast by shopping our latest sponsor deals and promotions at this link:\xa0https://bit.ly/4dsqzI1\n\nSubscribe to my newsletter: tenfoldmorewicked.com Buy my books:\xa0katewinklerdawson.com\nIf 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)\nSee my sources here:\xa0tenfoldmorewicked.com\xa0\n2021 All Rights Reserved\nLearn more about your ad choices.
