About the episode
What do AI, augmented reality, and an antique telegraph inside a casket have in common? They’re all part of humanity’s centuries-old obsession with chatting up the dearly departed! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore the eerie evolution of using technology to interact with the dead—from Victorian gadgets to cutting-edge AI that might just make "ghosting" a whole new thing. But that’s not all—brace yourself as they dive into the unintended (and deeply uncomfortable) souvenirs people accidentally receive during surgery. Sponge? Check. Surgical tool? Check. An entire scalpel? Yep. You won’t believe what’s been left behind! Prepare for a wild ride through the macabre, mysterious, and downright bizarre. Join us for laughs, chills, and a few jaw-dropping “Wait, WHAT?!” moments. 🎧 #WeirdHistory #HauntedTech #SurgeryFails #PodcastFun If you would like to advertise on The Box of Oddities, contact [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
