About this listen

Dobby and I tell the (believe it or not) true tale of Tarrare. Tarrare was a french dude born in the 1700's who couldn't stop eating. He did not discriminate against anything, eating non-foods as a sideshow or simply to try satisfy his never ending hunger. Book Recommendation is Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. *** Content Warning- This episode mentions death a small child and eating cats and dogs.
