Ep. 110: Eternal Hunger - The Life of Tarrare

Ep. 110: Eternal Hunger - The Life of Tarrare

Can you imagine a hunger so deep it can never be filled, no matter how you try or what you eat? Cravings wracking your whole existence, pushing you past the limits of biology, decency and morality?

That was the constant condition of Tarrare, the hungriest man who ever lived. This week, Sean tells the fascinating, morbid and entirely disgusting story of the eighteenth century French peasant, street performer, polyphage and unlikely spy who really would do anything for a meal...and we mean anything.

Be warned - this is a gross one!
