Show Notes

No, that’s not a typo. ASSASSINAPRIL continues with the story of a man named Doctor-- who became a doctor-- whose negligence led to the death of President James A Garfield after his 1881 shooting. This episode has got it all: puss, blood, bacteria and a return of the fan favorite “shoving food up your rectum”.
