In this episode we examine the life of Joseph Merrick, who had a mysterious illness that caused skin and bone growths on his face and body.  These growths led him to a life as a stage attraction known as the Elephant man.   We discuss the difficult life Joseph led, and his kind and gentle spirit which made people see past his appearance. music by V►LH►LL vlhll.bandcamp.com
