LIVE SHOW TIX HERE! Time Travel Insurance and Unusual Post-Funeral Food Traditions: Ever worried about getting stuck in the 17th century without proper coverage? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the curious 19th-century phenomenon of time travel insurance—yes, that was a real thing, and yes, people actually bought it. Spoiler: it did not cover paradoxes. Then, journey into the comforting yet curious world of funeral foods, from the delightfully savory to the downright head-scratching. Why do certain cultures serve pickled fish or cookies shaped like bones when someone dies? The answers are as flavorful as they are fascinating. Prepare for a double-serving of the bizarre and the bereaved, where historical absurdity meets culinary ritual.
