On Today’s show Bess Lovejoy stops by to talk about her book Rest In Pieces : The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses.

You can follow Bess Lovejoy on Twitter at @Death_A_Day. Here’s the no-longer anatomically correct statue at Oscar Wilde’s grave she discusses.

Also if you’re in the Portland area check out Luke hosting Livewire at Alberts Rose Theater. I apologize that I’m too exhausted from battling the chest-ial phlegm demons to be funny but hopefully I’ll be back to my normal hilarious self on Monday. Have a great weekend Tens!
