My guest today is Nick Bowman, a collector and merchant of the macabre. And when I say macabre, some of the pieces we talk about, genuinely caught me off guard. But Nick was so lovely and so open, and I think he explained his fascination with these artifacts really well.

Like he says in our chat – it’s not for everyone, nor is he trying to push this interest on anyone. Nick was really keen to bust some myths as there’s a lot of misconceptions about the collecting world – especially when you’re dealing with human body parts. We talk about everything from the practicalities of collecting and the ethics, to Nick’s private collection and to those big ticket items he would love to get his hands on.

I do want to put in a disclaimer here – as I said we do talk about some pretty dark and heavy topics.

You really are in for a treat, Nick’s great and this is such a fascinating conversation. So without further ado – let’s dive in….

Hello! Today on the pod I actually had a completely different episode for you ... but technology isn't playing ball with me so I’m saving that one for next week. Today we’re looking back at a chat I had during the covid lockdowns a few years ago. It’s with a lovely lass named Graceie who – as well as a working as a bunch of other things, is an Antarctic tour guide. Absolute legend and a really adventurous soul. You’ll probably hear it in my voice, because of the time difference, I think Gracie might’ve been in the US, we had to do it at like 4 or 5 in the morning in Queensland. But it was so worth it.. I really hope you enjoy it!

Today we’re looking into the history of… salt.

You’re probably thinking... WHY? They’re just tiny white crystals that you sprinkle on your chips - and you’re right, salt makes stuff taste.. glorious!

But did you know it played a crucial role in shaping human civilization? Strap in because I’m about to knock your socks off!
