Are you in the market for a human skull?  Maybe a full skeleton? Would you be surprised if I told you to check Instagram? The sale, purchase, and trade of most human bones in the US is largely legal, and people are connecting on Instagram to find what they need. While some might want that perfect centerpiece for a collection, should these remains be treated as consumer products or objects with archaeological or anatomical value?  Brian Switek, author of Skeleton Keys: The Secret Life of Bone, joins us to talk about the human bone trade. Next, what do you think the most important job in the world is right now?  As our society continues to play out on online platforms, the content and comment moderator play one of the most vital roles on the internet. Recent stories show how tough the job actually is, FB content moderators coping with PTSD symptoms and resorting to doing drugs and having sex on the job to deal with the stress. Ryan Broderick, Buzzfeed News reporter and former content moderator himself, joins us for why this job is so important. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

We'll talk with Brian Switek, author of the book "Skeleton Keys: The Secret Life of Bone", about where your skeleton comes from, and how so many of the skeletons scientists have studied have complicated pasts and uncertain futures.
