Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid. When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads. From Wondery, comes a story about life, death, and what comes next. Binge all episodes of Frozen Head exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

  11. BONUS

    Where to find Episodes 2-7 of Frozen Head

    In the first episode of Frozen Head, you learned about two ordinary people whose deaths were anything but. No, this isn’t one of those true crime docs about a series of brutal murders. Rather, these two unassuming people were a part of a controversial movement – the right to be preserved cryogenically in the hopes of a second chance. After their deaths, decades apart, all hell broke loose between cryonicists and those who reject the supposed quack science of reanimation. If you want to hear the rest of Frozen Head, you can binge all seven episodes exclusively on Wondery Plus. On Wondery Plus, you can listen to all your favorite podcasts early and ad-free. With a library featuring over 50 #1 Apple Podcast hits and 45,000 binge worthy episodes, there’s something for everyone. Join Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or an Apple Podcasts.
