Homeless Bodies and Other Stories is an original fiction podcast featuring audio-exclusive short stories from award-winning authors and Sunday Times best-sellers, inspired by objects & artefacts from Wellcome Collection’s permanent exhibition, 'Medicine Man', in London. Exploring themes of otherness, humanity, history, society and belief, Homeless Bodies and Other Stories brings together a gripping collection of tales that are unsettlingly eerie and provokingly current.

Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola’s third boyfriend in a row is dead. Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works.

Treasure is a wannabe Instagram influencer in Lagos, Nigeria. She shows off a luxurious life in a gated community that her almost five thousand followers can only dream of. @Sho4Sure is determined to be part of it. The macho mechanic is Treasure’s number one fan, and double taps and blushing emojis are no longer enough. He needs to meet her in the flesh. If only Treasure were more prepared for destiny. 

Korede ist verbittert. Und wie sollte sie auch nicht? Ihre Schwester Ayoola ist das Lieblingskind, die Schöne - und wahrscheinlich psychopathisch. Und jetzt ist schon ihr dritter Freund nacheinander tot. Koredes praktische Veranlagung rettet ihre Schwester. Sie kennt die besten Tricks, um Blut zu entfernen, ihr Kofferraum ist groß genug für eine Leiche, und sie weist ihre Schwester darauf hin, dass man keine fröhlichen Bilder auf Instagram posten sollte, während man eigentlich gerade trauert. Aber Anerkennung bekommt sie dafür nicht.
