House of Skulls with Marc Fennell
Publisher's Summary
This series contains discussion of human remains. Listener discretion is advised.
In the basement of one of the world's most prestigious universities, there was a classroom lined with a collection of human skulls from around the globe. Join award-winning journalist Marc Fennell (It Burns, Nut Jobs, Stuff the British Stole) as he takes you on a captivating global journey through the mysterious Morton Cranial Collection. You will encounter an Australian cannibal, explore the depths of ancient Egyptian looted tombs, and piece together the story behind one of America's most tragic acts of police violence. This is the story of racism in America and the world told as you’ve never heard it before. And it’s all waiting right inside the House of Skulls.

great listen
Samuel Morton's house of skulls and how his flawed and biased research lent a veneer of scientific legitimacy to racist ideologies and perpetuating harmful stereotypes, which still have ramifications today. Great poddy, Marc.

Compelling and Disturbing
This is a reminder that many histories remain untold and that too many others too easily celebrated.

Engaging and well researched as always
Marc finds a way to dissect (no pun intended) the history and truth and bring it to us in portions that are readily absorbed and engaging. I don't know how he does it, taking us on a journey to where we are now. His conclusions are accurate and informative, he is a warm and intelligent communicator.
