The Rotenberg Cannibal IRL Horror
-
- True Crime
Episode 003: Germany, March 2001, saw a case that made the law and people question their own ethics when a cannibal manages to find a volunteer to be killed and eaten. Here we discuss what made Armin Meiwes tick, what he did, and hopefully not be queasy the rest of the day. This case is one I knew I wanted to do when I decided to create this podcast. It is one that sits heavy on my mind and has for years. There are many layers here to consider. This episode is graphic in nature so please beware of the warning before listening.
