Death and Friends
Have you ever wondered about death? Sure you have - after all, you're not Keanu Reeves, probably. As it turns out, humans have gotten pretty good at dying over the course of history - and we've really committed to the bit in a lot of (death)ways. Join comedians Nash Flynn and Angel Luna on a world history tour of death and dying. What's the worst that could happen?

S5 E0 | Live Jazz, Die Strung Part 1: Getting Into Arguments In The Kentucky Medical Journal 24.01.2024 45:27
What do bebop music, and German big pharma, and a bunch of heroin-prescribin’ doctors in Kentucky have in common? Jazz! (*Does jazz hands.*) The show’s editor, audio engineer, and not-quite-Chicagoan, Dom, joins Nash and Angel for some shulie-a-bop-a-doo-vah-day high times. Support us on Patreon.

S5 E1 | Necrophilia: the Story of Hopefully Just One Karen 28.10.2023 41:03
Just in time for Halloween, Angel and Nash learn about one of the creepiest things imaginable: the consequences of their actions. And also necrophilia! Come take a walk through history and learn about why France is taking the blame for this nightmare fuel - and why you might want to double check your state’s laws, you know, just in case. This episode is a Halloween gift you and Season 5 teaser, as...
S4 E10 | The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Part 2: Henry Tudor and the Prisoner of The Tower of London 18.05.2023 53:23
It’s the Season Finale, Part 2! And, like every second part of an episode, Angel and Nash wrap up the story of Henry and his wives. Some of them die, but also, so does Henry! And some of the wives live! I mean, not a super long time, but hey, it’s 16th century England after all. Support us on Patreon.

S4 E9 | The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Part 1: Henry Tudor and the Chamber of Polyamory 27.04.2023 34:04
Welcome to Tudor England! In part 1 of Season 4’s finale, Angel and Nash get a deep dive into what makes a marriage work - and not work - as Henry VII inherits the throne of England and tries to make an heir. They unpack women’s rights in the 16th century, which takes, sadly, very little time. Also in this episode: Sex! Murder! Divorce! A Pope! And also Death! Support us on Patreon. Follo...
S4 E8 | The First Time Rich People Created the Fyre Festival: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire 13.04.2023 24:55
Oh look, another industrial accident. Lucky this led to some really good things! Unfortunately it took a lot of death. Like a lot. Look there's some jokes but this here is a dark one. That being said, hug a union leader (not a cop), and be grateful for functioning fire exits. Support us on Patreon. Follow us on BlueSky(@deathandfriends.bsky.social) Follow us on instagram(@dea...
S4 E7 | Deer Island, or that Time Boston Had a Concentration Camp 30.03.2023 25:05
Deer Island sounds like it should be a cool hangout for local wildlife, but wow it is not that at all. In the aftermath of King Phillip’s War, Boston goes down the road of history’s worst takes, and commits a little (additional) genocide. Join Nash and Angel as they detail the final histories as the New England colonists (/colonizers) try to eradicate the very people that saved them. Support us o...
S4 E6 | Troy Story: Wait, Messing With People’s Death Rites Is Bad? 16.03.2023 28:40
Sing, goddess, sing of the anger of our sound guy, Dom, each time he has to edit an episode. In other news, Angel and Nash travel all the way back to ancient Greece to chat about the movie with Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt. You know the one. They talk about the horse thing, but also they learn about what happens when you weaponize someone’s corpse! That probably shouldn’t have an exclamation point!...
S4 E5 | Timur the Conqueror’s Grave: The Time Stalin F*cked Around and Found Out 02.03.2023 19:59
This week, Nash and Angel watch Joseph “Daddy” Stalin learn all about karma in its best, truest form: an ancient tomb curse. Because if you’re in shock about having your bff Hitler betray you in the middle of a world war, well then, the only thing to do is unbury an centuries-old crypt and take a skull home. Right? Anyway, no big deal, but let’s stop unburying the dead, ok? Support us on Patreon....
S4 E4 | True Crime Tim: The Parkman Webster Murder 16.02.2023 29:08
Nash and Angel visit Boston (again) and stop by Harvard University (again) to see what some professor has hidden in his toilet. Spoiler alert: It might be a coworker? Find out what happened to local rich landlord guy George Parkman and why you might want to schedule a visit to your dentist sometime in the near future, just in case. Support us on Patreon.

S4 E3 | Butterflies All the Way Down: How the Mirabal Sisters Defeated a Goat 02.02.2023 23:55
This week's episode is a bit more serious than our usual work. We talk about how the U.S. made another boo boo in Latin America, specifically on the same island they made one in the previous episode. Just a super lighthearted episode about a fascist dictator, how he couldn't handle a 14 year old girl rejecting him, and how that led to a revolution. And a cameo appearance by everyone's...
S4 E2 | Creature Feature: ZOMBI, ZOMBIE, ZOMBIES 19.01.2023 25:22
We are doing the Creature Feature early this season, we are talking about the things so dead, they’re undead! Let’s talk about how Capitalism and his best friend (hint it’s a real bad guy) essentially led to a spiritual movement that was bastardized by *checks notes* CAPITALISM!? Support us on Patreon.

S4 E1 | Death’s Great American Roadtrip: A Brief History of Modern Embalming 05.01.2023 30:10
Angel and Nash open Season 4 looking at how modern corpse embalming was developed and made popular by one white guy, his mustache, and a dream: a dream to make corpses portable and overall less dead-looking.

S4 E0.6 | A Very DNF Christmas Special: Crucifixion 22.12.2022 19:58
Its an X-mas miracle! The annual holiday party is rocking. There's no ancient folkloric creature chasing Angel due to his outstanding debts to a mysterious gang of Germans. And Nash, yet again, is trying to hit on people in the office. In honor of the birthday boy himself, this special episode of Death and Friends is more of a sing along... Or at least it tries to be as Angel and Nash attempt...
S4 E0.5 | A Very DNF Halloween Special: How Some Children Invented Seances in America 31.10.2022 26:22
In this episode, Angel and Nash take a pottery class to communicate with local ghost singles in their area. It gets weird pretty fast. Then they do some actual work and poke around into the history of how ghost chats got started in the good old US of A with three enterprising sisters, an apple, and a few probably broken toe joints. Happy Halloween, mortals! (And if you’re tuning in from the afterl...
S4 E0 | That time Angel and Nash recorded in person: Salem, Lizzie, and the search for King Tut's P3N15 (Patreon Preview) 13.10.2022 43:45

S3 E11 | Life finds a way. Until it doesn’t: Dinosaurs 04.08.2022 21:13
Considering Season 3 has been out darkest season yet.

S3 E8 | The Not So Great Boston Molasses Flood, Kid 07.07.2022 31:38
History can be really strange. For instance, you’d think an exploding tank of warm molasses during a frigid Boston January would be funny, or at least, sort of a nice break from the cold, but look at how wrong you’d be. In one of the more gruesome episodes to date, hear all about how one company managed to botch an entire operation start to deadly finish, and how one small historical event you’ve...
S3 E7 | Okay, but ask The Pope first: The Spanish Inquisition 30.06.2022 25:02
*Insert Monty Python Joke here* Turns out a lot messed up stuff comes from Spanish History. Including a whole lot of war crimes, intolerance and a WAY TOO POWERFUL RELIGIOUS STATE.

S3 E6 | Vladimir Lenin and The Philosopher's Debate About Post-Death Body Autonomy 23.06.2022 34:23
In today’s episode, we’re only talking about one dead guy. And he’s been dead for just about 100 years. But you can visit him any old time you wanna, cos he’s still chilling with us, topside. For the second time in this show, listen to Angel and Nash wax poetic about a dead dude’s penis. Jazz hands!

S3 E4 | All New Chicago Thursdays Only on NBC (not really): The Great Chicago Fire 09.06.2022 26:09
Is it hot?? Or is it just a raging fire that engulfs the entire city of Chicago that then is blamed on immigrants?? We’re talking about the reason is called the Second City (probably) and how poor city planning makes rich people do some wild stuff to protect their *checks notes* possessions? Support us on Patreon.
