  • Summary

  • What do a grisly public execution and a pack of socially conscious canines have in common? They’re both waiting for you in this delightfully strange The Box of Oddities episode! First, explore the gruesome tale of William Jobling, a miner whose horrifying punishment—being gibbeted and left to rot in a metal cage—made him an eerie symbol of injustice in 19th-century England. What did Jobling do to deserve such a fate? And why does the word "gibbet" sound like it belongs in a pirate movie? Then, brace yourself for the paws-itively incredible story of the dogs who helped spark social change. These four-legged revolutionaries weren't fetching sticks—they were fetching justice. Discover how humanity's best friends played a role in historic moments of progress. It’s a macabre-meets-wholesome adventure you won’t want to miss! #BoxOfOddities #TrueCrime #WeirdHistory #DogsOfInstagram #StrangeButTrue #HistoryPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
