Episode notes

Hayley covers the queen of abstract art, and communicating with the spirit realm, Hilma af Klint. Hilma kept her art secret for decades believing the world wasn’t ready. We are glad she is finally getting the credit she deserves! Then, if you don’t already have taphophobia, you definitely will after Kat’s lesson. She recounts three terrifying stories of people being buried alive, and the lengths inventors went to prevent future mishaps.
