Bust or Trust: A Kids' Mystery Podcast

Spontaneous Human Combustion

Listen on

Episode notes

Spontaneous Human Combustion is such a well known phenomena that Charles Dickens included it in one of his most famous stories. But do people really burst into flames for no reason, or is it all just a lot of made up stories and confused details? Athena and Tiernan light the flame on this case so that you, our Chief Detectives can work it out.

Warning: This one's a little gruesome so might not be suitable for younger listeners.
