Podcasts about Robert Knox

Episode 53 Dr. Robert Knox The anatomy labs at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, Scotland had a difficult time procuring cadavers in the 1820s. Laws at the time limited professors to only obtaining the bodies of criminals sentenced to death, leading educators to take desperate measures in order to obtain specimens for their classes. These included paying ‘body-snatchers' to dig up the recently deceased or, in the unfortunate case of Dr. Robert Knox, unknowingly accepting the bodies of murdered citizens.  To listen to every episode of Campus Killings ad-free and get other benefits, simply  visit our channel page on Apple Podcasts to get started with an AbJack Insider subscription.    To advertise on this podcast please email: ad-sales@libsyn.com    Or go to our site.     For news, information, and updates about Campus Killings, or to contact the show, visit our website Follow Campus Killings on Social Media; Twitter & Facebook  Campus Killings is hosted by Dr. Meghan Sacks and Dr. Amy Shlosberg.

In this gripping episode of Crime Time Inc., hosts Tom Wood and Simon dive deep into the haunting tale of Burke and Hare, the infamous 19th-century body-snatchers of Edinburgh. The conversation begins with some light-hearted banter before transitioning into the chilling details of Burke and Hare's gruesome activities, providing listeners with a vivid picture of Edinburgh's socio-economic backdrop during that era.Tom sheds light on the savage deeds of Burke and Hare, explaining how the desperate poverty and stark societal divide created an environment ripe for their vile trade. The duo's method of luring vulnerable individuals and selling their bodies for anatomical study to the revered Dr. Robert Knox is meticulously discussed, underscoring the grim reality of unregulated medical practices of the time.As the story unfolds, Tom narrates the meticulous investigative work of Sergeant Major Fisher, whose prompt actions led to the apprehension of the notorious criminals. Simon and Tom explore the legal intricacies surrounding the case, including the controversial decision to grant immunity to William Hare in exchange for his testimony against Burke.The episode also delves into the aftermath of the trial, detailing the public's violent reaction and the eventual legislative changes that followed, such as the Anatomy Act of 1840 Hosted on Acast.

This episode takes a deep dive into one of Scotland's most notorious cases - the story of Burke and Hare, infamously known for their grisly serial murders in 1828 Edinburgh. Our hosts, Tom and Simon, explore the background of these crimes, beginning with the initial interactions between Burke and Hare and setting the stage with detailed descriptions of 19th-century Edinburgh's social and economic climate. The discussion highlights the duo's transition from grave robbing to murder, fueled by the demand for fresh cadavers in medical research, which was booming in Edinburgh at the time.The podcast meticulously unpacks the cold case methodology used by Tom, revealing insights into how Burke and Hare preyed on the vulnerable to supply bodies to Dr. Robert Knox and his anatomy students. Key details include their first accidental venture into murder, their selection of victims, and the disturbing method of smothering the victims to leave the bodies unmarked for medical dissection.Sergeant Major Fisher's role in arresting Burke and Hare is given significant attention, showcasing early forensic investigation and the challenges faced by the Edinburgh police in navigating the city's divide between the upper echelons and the underbelly. The episode closes on a reflective note, discussing the broader implications of Burke and Hare's crimes on the legal, societal, and medical landscapes of the time, setting up anticipation for a further exploration of the case's aftermath and its lasting legacy on criminal and medical history.

In this week's bonus episode, Martin talks us through the ghastly crimes of Burke and Hare - with a side serving of the history of medicine!Part of the "Something Wicked" series, we start by chatting through the headlines of the Burke and Hare killing spree, including the Enlightenment-era craze for celebrity surgeons and 'anatomisation.' We then discuss how Scotland's fraught religious history enabled leaps forward in natural philosophy, necessitated the invention of things like 'mort safes,' and how ideas like Humorism and Sensibility had their roots in Ancient Mesopotamian and Ancient Egyptian concepts like 'Flow Theory,' curses, and exorcism.After chatting through Ancient Greek and Roman developments in medicine, including the Hippocratic Oath, and Medieval concepts like Leechbooks, we then loop back to the popularity of "operating theatres" - places where surgeries were performed for paying customers - and how the profit motive drove demand for corpses. Ideally ones that were still warm. And why this, in turn, inspired Burke, Hare, and the surgeon Robert Knox, to make some ghastly leaps in logic, the consequences of which were still being felt well into the 20th century...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 159 Robert Knox, Jr., Director of Public Works for the city of Malden, is the guest. Ed Lucey hosts.

For this week's addition to the Campfire Classics Collection, we have one of the most famed contributors to English Literature dipping his toes into the horror genre to great success. Robert Louis Stevenson, most famous for his 1883 novel, Treasure Island, published this short story the following year in The Pall Mall Gazette. Its characters were based on criminals in the employ of real-life surgeon Robert Knox around the time of the notorious Burke and Hare murders. This is a beautifully written and truly terrifying tale based on some of the most depraved acts ever committed, and a rare look into the bizarre world of the early stages of development of modern medicine. Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week. This week's episode includes descriptions/sound related the following sensitive content:High Anxiety SituationsHuman Medical Dissection AutopsyDismembermentGrave DiggingCheck it Out!Robert Louis Stevenson's best-known works include the the classics Treasure Island, A Child's Garden of Verses, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.Support Campfire on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/campfiretalesofthestrangeandunsettling Satisfy All of Your Merch Needs:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/campfire-tales-of-the-strange-and-unsettling?ref_id=25702 Join the conversation on social media atwww.campfirepodcastnetwork.com  Discord: https://discord.gg/43CPN3rz Instagram:instagram.com/campfire.tales.podcast GoodPods:https://goodpods.app.link/T0qvGnXnplb Twitter:www.twitter.com/campfiretotsau  Facebook:www.facebook.com/campfire.tales.podcast Visit Our Linktree for Any and All Campfire Info: https://linktr.ee/Campfirepodcast Special Thanks: Gregg Martin for music contributions!

Anton joins Robert Knox for a discussion of Marxist approaches to law, with a focus on international law. We discuss critical legal studies, international law and how it compares to other branches of law, its origins and how it has evolved through the years focusing on the cases of Haiti, the USSR and decolonization movement, and law and neocolonialism. We also discuss how Marxists can approach law in general through principled opportunism.

Wir sind in Edinburgh am 28. Januar 1829, wo ein gewisser William Burke am Strang hingerichtet wird. Gemeinsam mit seinen Komplizen William Hare und Robert Knox war ihre Art des Broterwerbs demnach schon zu damaliger Zeit kein Kavaliersdelikt. Um es richtig zu stellen, diese Männer waren nicht die einzigen ihrer Art. Ihre Art Geld zu machen war auch anderen aufgefallen und zuweilen sehr lukrativ. Nur... diese Drei haben es etwas übertrieben. Und die Ironie wurde so manchem zum Schicksal.

In the early 19th century, Edinburgh was the leading European center for anatomy. Dissections were so popular, that the city began running out of cadavers. By Scottish law, the only bodies that could be used were those who died in jail, suicide victims, and orphans. People began stealing bodies from graves, which wasn't illegal. Anatomists would pay handsomely for bodies. As measures to stop grave robbing heightened, two men took matters into their own hands. William Burke and William Hare began a killing spree in exchange for money from anatomist Robert Knox. In November 1828, both men and their wives were caught after suspicion had arose. Hare was granted immunity as long as he testified against Burke. Hare's wife was also granted the same. Hare admitted to killing sixteen people along with Burke and went into great detail of the methods. Burke was found guilty and sentenced to death. His wife was found no proven, which meant she was guilty but there wasn't enough evidence to convict. Burke was hanged in February 1829. His body was dissected and his skeleton was preserved. To this day, it is on display at the Anatomical Museum of the Edinburgh Medical School.

I'm the host, Erik Byrne. Today's episode is gonna be another short one, lets say truncated or even amputated. It opens up a whole topic of medical horror like a bonesaw to an artery. I'd love to do more episodes on the wider subject of the insane stuff humanity used to call medicine, but I'll split that up and sprinkle it into the feed at large over time. I don't want to spend too many episodes in a row on one particular topic. Maybe if I was doing this in seasons or something, but for right now I'm gonna jump all over time and space like I've got cosmic ADD. Maybe down the line I'll curate collections of episodes on broader topics like medicine,  history or animals, but for that to happen I need to pump out more of that thick squidgy content. So without further ado I would like to jump right into the blood and guts of today's episode. I give you the fastest knife in the west end, the slickest slicer south of the north sea, Robert liston!Robert liston was a prolific surgeon in britain from around 1818 to his death in 1847. He was born in late october of 1794 to a minister and inventor in Scotland. He grew up fascinated with medicine and anatomy and after a rudimentary schooling as a boy went on to attend medical school in edinburgh (edin-bruh). He left for a while to study under this guy william blizard in London and eventually returned to edinburgh to teach anatomy there before becoming a surgeon and then kind of bounced between london and edinburgh throughout his life. He got canned in edinburgh and moved to london, came back then went back to london where he lived out the remainder of his days. He married a wine merchant's daughter along the way who isn't mentioned in most of the articles and the one's she's in don't even really give her name. Give the ladies some coverage too c'mon! Given her absence in most of the literature here I, I don't think there's much relevance to me covering her either. Sorry mrs Liston, I'm sure he couldn't have done it all without you. We'll take a brief second to pour out a whiskey for the happy couple and make a note to find some strong women leads for future horror stories on the show. Back to old robert, that covers most of the biographical information of any relevance to the medical insanity we're going to be jumping into today. I think he'd appreciate the brevity and cutting to the chase as you'll soon find out. So during this time period of history, people had a Fairly good idea of how most of the human body worked and how to fix a lot of the medical issues people had. But it certainly was far from perfect. I mean even today we're far from perfect. Reminds me of a time I tried to give blood like two years ago and they had to take the needle in and out 3 or four times because they weren't getting any flow. After squeezing the stupid rod for ten minutes and not filling a drop of the blood bag, 2 nurses and a doctor later some tech figured out that they had crimped the wrong tube. They just gave me the coupon for the free whopper or whatever and told me to get out of there, so there's kind of individual incompetence like that and societal incompetence like the fact that back then other surgeons thought you were a pussy if you washed your hands before or after a surgery. Most notably and most relevant at the time though was that speed of the operation was of the essence. The longer you went with an open body cavity or bleeding stump from an amputation, your chances of dying skyrocketed up. You lost more blood, you became more susceptible to infection, (although that wasn't really well understood at the time), and you just have an overall lower chance of survival. Enter Robert Liston. He really, really leaned into the faster surgery good, slow methodical surgery bad. And now we're getting into the reason this dude gets his own episode on my prestigious show. Picture this, your leg is green and sickly from some horrible 1800s infection probably just from stepping on a tomato that somebody stored their sewing needles in or something. Before antibiotics and other more modern inventions or discoveries it was just kinda like, that's gotta go. And then it's we let you keep your shrek leg and you're guaranteed to die, or we chop that s**t off and you've got like a one in four chance of dying. Han solo was right when he said never tell me the odds I guess. Dr Liston's whole schtick was that given a faster surgery you had a more likely chance to survive, why not take that to its logical conclusion and go for the speedrun records? Liston wasn't called the fastest knife in the west end for nothing, he would perform an operation to amputate a limb, that means from the first slice, having the flesh cleaved away, the bone sawn through and the stump stitched back up in Twenty Eight seconds flat. I can barely imagine that. Most podcast ads are about thirty seconds so next time you're listening to something that isn't this show, take note when there's an ad and imagine someone being strapped down with buckles, held down by assistants, have their hand sliced off and sawn through, all the while screaming and writhing, blood squirting everywhere while Liston is looking down on him with his knife literally in his mouth because he doesn't have time to put it down to switch to the bone saw. Then stitched back up to become captain hook, and he yells at his assistant with a wild look in his eye “time! how fast was that?”  Seriously, every article on this guy is called some variation of “time me gentlemen! Time me” because that was his catch phrase before a surgery. He would show up and make sure people had their stopwatches out before he got started. Everyone just had those in 1800s england. Aside from all the blood and screaming, twas a silly place.Liston may have been a cocky lunatic but he basically had every right to be. He was easily the fastest surgeon around and he had a far better mortality rate than most hospitals and other surgeons could claim at the time. I mentioned earlier his one in four surviving operations versus one in eight to ten averaged out elsewhere. Beyond the RBI he's working with, liston was overall a pretty good guy, sure a bunch of people died under his knife, but who hasn't gotten zapped playing the operation game once or twice. He would actually hang out outside of rival hospitals and when people got turned away because they were quote un quote “beyond helping” he would be like “look, no guarantees but your gonna die if you don't get some kind of treatment and I'm right here with my liston knife and stopwatch if you want a chance to live… maybe…” Yes a liston knife, he invented himself a new kind of amputation knife to speed up the procedures. And he would just chop em up right there. Maybe he took them to an operating room, the literature is unclear. It's funnier if you imagine he's doing this in the parking lot of a rival hospital. Through getting victims, erm patients like this he probably saved a good deal of lives that didn't have much of a shot at survival anyway. Pioneered isn't really the right term but, liston certainly championed, making people comfortable and assuring them stuff was okay, when it was most definitely not okay. He wasn't always the most, let's say “tactful” with this, in one example a guy was getting a foot amputated for frostbite but he got cold feet. Huh? Huh? Cold feet? Anyway he panics before the operation and locks himself in a bathroom. Liston tells him from the outside “it's all gonna be fine mate”, and just hears back “noooo I'm not ready” He replies, “I am, you're gonna be alright, but I got tea time in 3 and a half minutes!” He breaks down the door like he's f**king jack torrance “EERS ROBBY” yanks him out and straps him down. Successfully performs the operation and the guy goes on to be a renowned boat captain. I don't know if it was actually frostbite but the pun was too good to pass up. Furthermore, on being a great guy, he stood up for hygienic practices that were not yet commonplace at the time, for example washing your hands. He would argue with more senior surgeons about so-called experience, saying it didn't matter as much how long you've been doing surgery, it was rather how many surgeries you had done that accumulated experience, something that I would tend to agree with. If any surgeons are listening let me know at nightmarenowpodcast@gmail.com what you think, or fact check me or whatever you like. One more really interesting side note on liston is that he was also tangentially involved in catching a pair of serial killers operating in london in 1828, for more information on that take a gander at the Burke and Hare murders. This was a rabbit hole, maybe a hare hole I couldn't really go down to deep on this episode but the gist of it was that in this era, corpses for surgical practice and medical study were extremely difficult to get ahold of, basically the only way to get one legally  (with a big airquotes around legally because even this was shady) was if the deceased was some guttersnipe or foundling with no familial ties, found dead. Or if you wanted to go the more nefarious route, paying a ghoul or graverobber for a fresh body right out of the cemetery. I'll definitely cover all this grave robber stuff on a future episode because there's a whole ghastly arms race of people getting better at stealing bodies and people making all kinds of ridiculous inventions to prevent it after they died, like a giant wrought iron cage around their coffin. Medical students and schools would have to pay for these bodies, and to these two guys burke and hare, it was good enough money that after a girl died in their motel and they sold the body they figured they could just cut out the grim reaping middle man and just kill people and sell the bodies for a great rate on account of the freshness. Maybe we'll go more in depth on them in another episode but thats the basic gist of the case as far as relevant details to Liston.So one day Liston was dealing with this dude, Robert Knox, who was another surgeon and pretty close to a sort of archetypal “rival” character to liston. He shows up at his office, or operating room or lab or whatever it is  and sees this girl that suspiciously got there within HOURS of her death, for experimentation. God what a f**king ghoulish time right? He paid Burke and Hare 8 pounds for her. Adjusted for inflation, that's like 930~ish british pounds or a little over twelve hundred us dollars. Liston thinks this whole thing is weird, and then Dr knox puts her naked body in this lewd display preserving her in whiskey for a long time, like months, before he's set to do the autopsy. That seemed extremely disrespectful to the body of this woman, Mary Paterson, even for the time period. Liston sees all this still happening next time he comes by and just beats the everliving f**k out of knox, Liston was 6'2'' and pretty jacked, I don't know if I mentioned that yet. After he puts knox on his a** he take's mary's body and tells knox to f**k off, and gives her a proper burial. Later on the police would finally catch Burke and Hare by interrogating Knox, but not before they killed sixteen people for cash. Liston wasn't all great all the time, however. He may have been the fastest surgeon around but that didn't always lend itself to making him the most careful. I want to take a few minutes and go over some of his most famous screw ups. Some of the sources swear the veracity of these claims and some of them say they might be apocryphal, embellished or outright fake. It's more fun if we take all this at face value because old Robert had himself a few big oopsies under his belt by the end of his career. One notable one that he didn't technically f**k up, it's just wild is this dude had a scrotal tumor that weighed like fifty pounds. He had to carry his nuts around in a wheelchair. I think I saw a TV show where that happened in modern times and the dude just wore an upside down hoodie as sweatpants. That's definitely a nikola tesla “you will witness man made horrors beyond your comprehension” moment to have that on TV. Who would do a piece of exploitative media like that on horrific topics? Hmm…Moving on. As far as I can tell the guy lived, I don't know if he could spread his scrotum skin to turn into a flying squirrel at the point but I'm afraid to do any more research on that. Speaking of nuts there was another case where liston was amputating a leg and got quote “Overzealous” during the operation and in his attempt at breaking the land speed record of a knife went right through and lopped off the guy's testicles too. In his defense he did manage to take the leg off in under two and a half minutes. I just don't know if taking the testicles off counts as a bonus time or penalty time. I also can't find word on whether or not that guy survived or not. Maybe he didn't want to at that point. It's not an easy time to be alive overall especially with one leg and no nuts. Another hilariously gruesome operation, and this time I'm using the term operation very loosely, was when Liston was brought, a young boy. The boy had a red pulsing mass on his neck and liston got into an argument with another surgeon about what to do. This is where his legendary confidence didn't do him a whole lot of favors. While arguing about whether or not the growth was a run of the mill skin abscess or a more deadly carotid arterial aneurysm, Liston reportedly paused mid sentence, yelled POOH, Who ever has heard of an aneurysm in one so young as this!!” He then whipped a scalpel out of his pocket and sliced it. Arterial blood started shooting out immediately and the kid died very very soon after that. He was how do we say, “Dead wrong” Finally we reach his most famous case, which may be partially, or entirely fake, but again for the sake of EDUTAINMENT value here we're gonna take it at face value. This is the only reason most people have ever heard of Liston. He was performing a routine, As routine as this slapdash bloody affair could get, amputation of a leg again. Presumably he was trying to beat his speed record. So he's there, the patient is there tweaking out because he's about to lose a leg, and he's got a few assistants helping hold this mf down. Furthermore he has a couple of people watching, either to learn from him or just because I don't know video games weren't invented yet and watching people get sawed apart was the next best thing. There's a reason they're called operating theaters after all. Right? I wanted to narrate this like an old timey horse race or friggin UFC fight or something being likeHe's starting right from the word go, old knifey comes out of the gate swinging and starts sawing with reckless abandon timothy you ever see anything like this in all your broadcasting years? Oh there's the blood, he's splitting a bone and oh what's this what's this, Collateral! I've never seen anything like this! That gets old quick, anyway, he hacks through the leg and everything, and I mean everything, part of the table, and more importantly two of his assistants fingers. That's gotta be a speed record at least for a triple amputation right? No he's going for a bigger record. So while listons cleaving through multiple limbs like he's doing a mortal kombat finisher he swings even wider afterward and rips the bonesaw through an onlookers coat. This is an old man and after seeing a leg and two fingies get tossed onto the ground the fear from thinking he's been stabbed by the blade liston's working like it's a f**king black and decker turkey carver the old guy has a heart attack and dies right there on the floor. He didn't even get so much as a nick, just straight up fear killed him. Scarecrow would be proud.  So he's gone. Nothing they can do about the old fella, so they go back to look at the patient and the new assistant slash patient. Liston and the other assistants rush these guys to the hospital in to see what they can do but both the assistant and the original patient develop an infection from slicing through each other. And both of them succumb to those infections within days. It wasn't uncommon what was uncommon was Liston performing the worlds first, and as far as I know only surgery with a three hundred percent mortality rate. That's crazy I don't care who you is. You try to fix one person and and end up killing three and still get a statue of yourself put up one hundred years later. Any statue people make of me will inevitably be torn down once the masses discover my vulgar podcast.Liston's career wasn't all blood and gore however. In fact he was partially responsible for ending his own wild west brand of hibachi surgery. He ended up being the first person to do a public surgery with the aid of anesthetic. He even had to roast americans while he did it even though we invented it. He said something to the effect of “let's see how these yankee shenanigans work lads” and did a surgery on a dude after blasting his nose full of chloroform. Reportedly the guy woke up after the chloroform, WITHOUT A LEG, and asked when the operation was gonna happen and he was scared because he wasn't ready, boy did he get a rude awakening when they lifted the sheet for him.That was a big hit, and from then on people have been using anesthetics so you don't have to do a speedrun every time you do a surgery ever since. That was 1846. He died about a year later from ironically, an aneurysm and is remembered today through content hungry podcasts. That wraps up the story of robert liston, now it's up to you to decide! Was he a lunatic murderer or a good doctor doing the best he could. I recorded this in advance as well but this is the last one. After this release things are hopefully week to week or at least every two weeks. I'll have had a website built by now at nightmarenow.com. That's where you'll find the shownotes, pictures, blog posts, all the links to the sosh meeds and anything else you might want to find about the show. Again, I'm so glad you took the time to take a listen to my little project here and I can't wait to grow this show and community together! Have a great week everyone!

Schottland im frühen 19. Jahrhundert: William Burke und William Hare brauchen Geld. Zum Glück, zumindest für die beiden Williams, floriert in Edinburgh gerade der Schwarzmarkthandel mit ganz besonderen Gütern: Leichen. Die werden nämlich von den Wissenschaftlern der Stadt zu Forschungszwecken benötigt. Und als in William Hares Gasthaus ein Mann stirbt, der ihm noch Geld schuldet, bringt das die beiden auf eine lukrative und tödliche Idee. ***Werbung*** HelloFresh: Mit dem Code HFAKTE bekommen Neukund:innen in Deutschland und Österreich bis zu 80€ Rabatt, je nach Boxgröße, aufgeteilt auf die ersten vier Boxen.

Am Abend des 27.November 1827 kehren William Burke und William Hare nach einer Zechrunde ins „Tanners Close“ zurück. „Donald ist gestorben“ ließ Margarete teilnahmslos verlauten. Für William Hare war das ein Schock. Nicht, weil es ihm um den alten Donald leidgetan hätte, sondern weil dieser mit 4 Pfund Miete bei ihm im Rückstand war. 4 Pfund, die er nun nicht mehr bekommen würde. Wut stieg in Hare hoch. Doch seine größte Tugend -jedenfalls wenn es nach ihm selbst ging- war sein Einfallsreichtum. Zusammen mit Burke schmiedete er einen Plan, um den finanziellen Verlust auszugleichen: Man wollte die Beerdigung vortäuschen und die Leiche verkaufen. Beide füllten den Sarg des Toten mit Rinde und brachten seinen Leichnam in die Anatomieschule von Dr. Robert Knox am Surgeon's Square. Jener Dr. Knox zahlte ihnen 7 Pfund und 10 Schillinge und stellte keinerlei Fragen über die Herkunft des Leichnams. Der Verlust von Hare hatte sich in einen Gewinn verwandelt. Eine Geschäftsidee war geboren. Eine Geschäftsidee, die in den nächsten 10 Monaten 16 Menschen das Leben kosten wird. // Kapitel // (00:00:01) Donald ist gestorben!

"The Body Snatcher" is a short story by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894). First published in the Pall Mall Christmas "Extra" in December 1884, its characters were based on criminals in the employ of real-life surgeon Robert Knox (1791–1862) around the time of the notorious Burke and Hare murders (1828).

Today we look at the deadliest surgery in history but we also look at the man who performed it, Robert Liston. We'll take a quick look at his accomplishments and a couple of other surgeries that didn't go so well.If you have a question you want us to research, send an email to Factschology@gmail.comAnd if you like the show, give us a rating, leave a review, or subscribe!Sourceshttps://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/10/time-me-gentlemen-the-fastest-surgeon-of-the-19th-century/264065/https://www.facs.org/-/media/files/archives/shg-poster/2016/05_liston.ashx?la=enhttps://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/robert-liston-19881.phphttps://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/l/robertliston.htmlSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/Factschology)

When a lodger at Hare’s boarding house suddenly dies the pair meets Dr. Robert Knox, one of the world’s most sought-after anatomy professors. Knox needs cadavers to teach classes to future surgeons—just like anatomy professors today. Burke and Hare earn more money with one body than a year’s worth of wages. But now…they need more bodies.

In this episode we discuss William Burke and William Hare the West Point murderers, Dr Robert Knox who suspiciously didn't know anything, graveyard security, and when is a bay not a bay. This episode was recorded during Lockdown and experienced some sound variation.

William Burke and William Hare murdered at least sixteen victims and then sold their cadavers to Dr. Robert Knox, an anatomist and professor, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Burke and Hare were for profit killers whom cashed in on the low supply and high demand of cadavers for use of dissection by university students. William Burke was sentenced to death after his cohort William Hare turned King's evidence against him receiving full immunity for these heinous crimes.

A series of conversations on international legal scholarship, political engagement and the transformative potential of academia. Each conversation will be chaired by Francisco José Quintana and Marina Veličković and will centre around a theme, concept or a method and their relationship to political movements, struggles and margins from which they have emerged and within (and for) which they have emancipatory potential. The conversation will focus on the role that critical approaches to international law have played and should play in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will look beyond the dominant disciplinary responses to COVID-19 and explore if and how international law can be employed strategically in this context. The relationship between international law and political economy will serve as our starting point, and from there we will explore the potential of international law to be used as a tool of politics of resistance and transformation. We will also discuss challenges and responsibilities of teaching international law at a time of crisis. Marina and Francisco will lead the conversation for ~45 minutes after which they will pass the responsibility on to the audience. This session will be hosted online via Zoom Webinar. Pre-registration is required and, in order to preserve the intimacy and informality that define the series, places are limited. Priority will be given to LCIL fellows and Cambridge students. Speakers Ntina Tzouvala is an ARC Laureate Postdoctoral Fellow in International Law at Melbourne Law School. Her work focuses on the history and theory of international law, with a particular emphasis on international law and global capitalism. Her first monograph, Capitalism as Civilisation: A History of International Law, will be published by Cambridge University Press in late 2020. Robert Knox is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Liverpool and an Editor of Historical Materialism and The London Review of International Law. He works primarily in the Marxist and critical legal traditions. His research touches on the relationship between international law, capitalism and imperialism (with a particular focus on questions of racialisation), on law’s key role in the birth and consolidation of neoliberalism and on the relationship between law and social change.

This week we discuss two high profile cases with a twist. Two unidentified victims with tattoos that lead to a notorious serial killer that is yet to be caught. We also talk about the murder of Robert Knox, who played Marcus Belby in the Harry Potter Franchise.

This week, we tag along to the local cemetery with the resurrection men, men who dug up fresh corpses for the purposes of medical study. We'll examine the history of body snatching, the purpose, and practice, and learn about Burke and Hare, two notorious murderers who were also body snatchers and grave robbers. This episode contains a body under a bed, some wooden shovels, a waving corpse, and some crafty body snatchers.

Episode 088 - Over a ten month period, starting in late 1827, a pair of Irish born serial killers William Burke and William Hare killed 16 people, for fun and for profit in Edinburgh, Scotland. The corpses of their victims, twelve women, three men and one child, were taken to Surgeon's Square and sold off to anatomist Dr. Robert Knox, for use in his anatomy classes.

Ep.58 Robert Knox Jr., Director of Public Works, is the guest. Ed Lucey hosts.

Created, produced, and directed by radio actor/director Elliott Lewis, the program was a historical true crime series, examining crimes and murders from the past. It grew out of Lewis' personal interest in famous murder cases and took a documentary-like approach to the subject, carefully recreating the facts, personages and feel of the time period. Comparatively little dramatic license was taken with the facts and events, but the tragedy was leavened with humor, expressed largely through the narration. The crimes dramatized generally covered a broad time and place frame from ancient Greece to late 19th-century America. Each episode in the series was co-written by Morton Fine and David Friedkin, in consultation with Lewis, although the scripting process was more a matter of research, as the stories were "adapted from the original court reports and newspaper accounts" or from the works of historians. The cases ranged from famous assassinations (of Abraham Lincoln, Leon Trotsky, and Julius Caesar) and the lives (and often deaths) of the likes of Cesare Borgia and Blackbeard to more obscure cases, such as Bathsheba Spooner, who killed her husband Joshua Spooner in 1778 and became the first woman tried and executed in America. The only continuing character was the host/narrator, Thomas Hyland, played by Lou Merrill. Hyland was introduced by the announcer as a "connoisseur of crime, student of violence, and teller of murders." Merrill's deadpan portrayal of Hyland provided the welcome note of tongue-in-cheek humor to the proceedings. Unlike the ghoulish weird storytellers of The Whistler and The Mysterious Traveler, Hyland was an ordinary fellow who, in a dry, droll manner, would present a tale from his files, his wry comments interspersed between dramatized scenes. The episodes would typically begin with Hyland inviting the audience to listen to a sound, from drops of rain to horses' hooves, and then introducing the main players and events of his report. The titles also contributed to the series' light tone, as they were intentionally pompous and usually laced with irony. Typical titles included "Your Loving Son, Nero," "If a Body Needs a Body, Just Call Burke and Hare," and "The Axe and the Droot Family... How They Fared". A roster of Hollywood radio actors filled the various historical roles. William Conrad was one of the more frequently heard performers, in such diverse parts as Nero, Blackbeard, Pat Garrett and King Arthur. Other performers, and the villains and victims they portrayed, included Jack Kruschen (as William Burke and Trotsky assassin Ramón Mercader), Jay Novello (as William Hare and Dr. William Palmer), Mary Jane Croft (as Bathsheba Spooner and Madame de Brinvilliers), Betty Lou Gerson (as Agrippina and Lucrezia Borgia), Edgar Barrier (as Julius Caesar), Harry Bartell (as Brutus), Hans Conried (as Ali Pasha), Herb Butterfield (as Lincoln, Trotsky, and Thomas Edwin Bartlett), Jack Edwards (as John Wilkes Booth and Cole Younger), Irene Tedrow (as Lizzie Borden), William Johnstone (as Robert Knox), Betty Harford (as Madeleine Smith and Ripper victim Mary Jane Kelly), Eve McVeagh as Madame Marie Lafarge, Clayton Post (as Jesse James), and Sam Edwards (as Billy the Kid and Bob Younger).

 WWE look out! While the Podcast was attending the Cenobite Panel at Texas Frightmare Weekend 2018, actor Doug Bradley let the crowd know that he would be joining a wrestling promotion sometime in the near future. He didn't elaborate on it any further at the time, but we were all very curious to know where this was going. The wait is over as horror website Bloody Disgusting recently let it out of the bag that the Hellraiserstar has joined the wrestling promotion known as Blackcraft Wrestling. He's playing a role known as “The Preacher” who is the general manager of the promotion. According to a fan who attended the show Burning Bridges, Bradley was quoted as saying a familiar Hellraiser-esque line, but with a twist that only Doug could come up with: “We have such fights to show you!” I love it! I've attached some pictures that were taken at the event showing Bradley cutting promos in the ring: Also, don't forget to visit Blackcraft Wrestling's official site where you can watch a promo video they've made for the character. https://blackcraftwrestling.com/ Thanks to Bloody Disgusting and Blackcraft Wrestling Blog Post at: http://www.clivebarkercast.com/2018/08/29/doug-bradley-joins-wrestling-promotion/      Over the summer it was reported that a Nightbreed TV series would be coming to the small screen via the SyFy channel, but nothing else has been said on the subject since. Yesterday, Bloody Disgustingreported a tweet from the writer of the series Josh Stolberg that confirms the return of Decker.   "Good Ol' Buttonface. I'll be playing with him this Fall."   I'm not all that surprised that Decker is returning considering how the movie ended. I'd love to see director David Cronenberg return to play the character with Ashberry as his devoted disciple. We'll keep you posted as more news is made available. Thanks to Josh Stolberg and Bloody Disgusting. Original Blog Post: http://www.clivebarkercast.com/2018/08/30/dr-decker-will-return-for-nightbreed-tv-series-according-to-writer/   It's always a treat to see Doug Bradley in anything he does, from his Spinechillers, to the Wrong Turnmovies, the Book of Blood, short films, Star Wars games (Shadow of Revan) and now LORE. Earlier today he posted this on his official Facebook page: "I recently got to spend some time in Prague, filming an episode about Burke and Hare for the new season of Lore, coming October 19th." You can see Doug in the second season trailer in a scene from the Burke and Hare episode— where it looks to me by his appearance that he'll be playing Dr. Robert Knox— once again playing a wise and aged surgeon, a dignified profession shared with another character he played in a famous Horror franchise before, if I'm not mistaken. Lore started out as a podcast developed by Aaron Mahnke and now it's a show on Amazon Video. The second season will premiere on October 19, 2018 Original Blog Post http://www.clivebarkercast.com/2018/08/30/doug-bradley-will-star-in-episode-of-lore/   It's been over a year since Hellraiser box creator Simon Sayce's passing, but we've learned today that his work continues to live on in a new movie called Extremity. Sayce's contributions to the film are the masks that are worn by the film's villains. The film is also directed by Anthony Diblasi who adapted Clive Barker's Dread for the big screen. He had these positive words to say about Simon's work,“There are several ‘hero' masks in the film, which the villains wear,” says DiBlasi. “These things look amazing on camera.” Check this one out from the trailer: From the EW report: Extremity stars Dana Christina (Wynonna Earp) as a young woman named Allison who signs up for a trip to an extreme haunt called Perdition in the hope of exorcising her demons.

The Burke and Hare murders were a series of 16 murders committed over a period of about ten months in 1828 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The killings were undertaken by William Burke and William Hare, who sold the corpses to Doctor Robert Knox for dissection at his anatomy lectures. Edinburgh was a leading European centre of anatomical study in the early 19th century, in a time when the demand for cadavers led to a shortfall in legal supply. Scottish law required that corpses used for medical research should only come from those who had died in prison, suicide victims, or from foundlings and orphans. The shortage of corpses led to an increase in grave robbing by what were known as resurrection men. Measures to ensure graves were left undisturbed exacerbated the shortage. When a lodger in Hare's house died, he turned to his friend Burke for advice and they decided to sell the body to Knox. They received what was, for them, the generous sum of £7 10s. A little over two months later, when Hare was concerned that a lodger suffering from fever would deter others from staying in the house, he and Burke murdered her and sold the body to Knox. The men continued their murder spree, probably with the knowledge of their wives. Burke and Hare's actions were uncovered after other lodgers discovered their last victim, Margaret Docherty, and called the police.

Continuamos nuestro periplo por el cine de terror a través de la historia con una de las obsesiones que Víctor inició el año pasado; ver todas las películas donde Boris Karloff y Bela Lugosi aparecieron juntos. Y la de esta vez tiene regustillo histórico y literario. El ladrón de cadáveres adapta una historia del célebre Robert Louis Stevenson basada en los hechos criminales cometidos por el cirujano Robert Knox y sus ayudantes, los ladrones de tumbas Burke y Hare. Lástima que aquí Lugosi salga poco, pero la cosa se compensa por la excelente actuación de Karloff como un amoral buscavidas que no tiene problema en "fabricar" cadáveres si no los encuentra.

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound? That's the kind of head-scratching question that's popularly believed to occupy the time and brains of philosophers. It relates to the ideas of immaterialism proposed by Bishop George Berkeley who asserted that the only things that exist are minds and ideas in those minds. He said that matter didn't really exist and that, in any case, it was unnecessary to complicate things with such a concept. For Berkeley, "to be perceived is to be". But what happens to "things" when they are not being perceived? Did Bishop Berkeley really believe that his bed disappeared when he gets up in the morning and left the room? The answer is no, because there is the over-arching mind of God and God is always perceiving all things even when we are not. When Berkeley leaves the room God is still perceiving the bed so it doesn't pop out of existence. To try and get to grips with this Clare Carlisle talks to Dr John Callanan, a lecturer in philosophy from Kings College London and hears a neat limerick on the subject by Robert Knox. She also talks to the filmmaker Carol Morley whose documentary, Dreams of a Life, explored the story of a 38 year old woman, Joyce Vincent, whose body was found in her flat amongst half wrapped Christmas presents, the tv switched on. She had been dead for 3 years and nobody had noticed she wasn't there. The reader is Peter Marinker. Producer: Natalie Steed.
