Episode Details

Join Kat and Jethro as they celebrate labor. Both the vocational type of labor and the childbirth type: from a terrible job at the eerie Flannan Isles Lighthouse where three keepers vanished without a trace in 1900 to the bizarre story of a couple who birthed a 29-year-old embryo. Discover the oddest professions on the planet, where some jobs are so strange it's hard to believe they exist. Plus, explore the unsettling phenomenon of Coffin Births, where life and death intersect unexpectedly. Tune in for a journey into the mysterious and the macabre, where the boundaries of possibility are continually challenged.
