šļø Episode Title: Goblin Jobs Part 2! ā Piss Whisperers, Sin-Eaters & Hermits, Oh My!
Welcome back, goblins, to another descent into the historical job market's uncanny basement. In Part 2 of our Goblin Jobs series, we're cracking open the dusty, slightly damp ledger of Victorian-era weird employmentāand it does not disappoint.
This episode, we uncover:
š Piss Prophets ā Yes, actual people who sniffed, sipped, and studied pee to diagnose ailments. Your HMO could never.
š» Sin-Eaters ā The ultimate last-meal crew, hired to nosh over corpses and absorb their sins. Itās like DoorDash meets spiritual trauma bonding.
š² Professional Hermits ā The OG influencers who were paid to be cryptic, mystical, and mildly unwashed while living in a curated cave on your rich uncleās estate. Hermit-core? We invented it.
š Wailing Women & Professional Mourners ā Donāt cry because itās over, pay someone else to sob loudly and throw themselves on the coffin. These grief freelancers knew how to bring the dramaāand the paycheckāto your funeral.
We discuss the truly unhinged lengths humans have gone to for coin, status, and vibes, while exploring the intersection of superstition, poverty, and the absolute audacity of the upper class.
š„ ALSO: Thereās talk of edible guilt, ritualized isolation, weaponized grief, andāof courseāa few modern equivalents (because capitalism is still weird).
So light a candle, pour yourself a nice warm mug of urine (JK, please donāt), and join us for another round of jobs that make LinkedIn cry.
