Castrati & Captain Blackbeard

This week, because Megan needed an excuse to drink aperol spritzes, we're heading to Italy to learn about the dark history of the Castrati, a generation of young boys who may or may not have become wide-bottomed opera stars.

Then Lauren takes us on the high seas to learn about the fearsome life of Captain Blackbeard, legendary pirate and apparently the star of Megan's favorite show.

Enjoy, stay freaky and send us topics to thefreakshowpod@gmail.com.
