About the episode
Live Show Tickets! Learn More Here! How do you survive a 47-story fall? Ask Alcides Moreno—a window washer who defied gravity, logic, and most of the bones in his body. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unravel the mind-bending tale of Moreno’s miraculous survival that left doctors speechless and physicists slightly twitchy. Then, ever heard of laudable pus? No, it’s not a new indie band—it’s the horrifyingly real medical theory that once celebrated... gooey infection. (Warning: the 18th century was not okay.) Join us as we plunge into a world where falling from skyscrapers isn’t fatal, and medieval doctors high-fived each other over suppurating wounds. Because weird is wonderful—and occasionally pus-filled.#BoxOfOddities #StrangeButTrue #WeirdHistory #MedicalMysteries #SurvivalMiracle Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
