Tarrare

June 10, 2026 · 1 h 20 min

Show notes

This week on Brohio, we dive into the unbelievable and stomach-churning story of Tarrare, the 18th-century Frenchman whose insatiable hunger turned him into a medical mystery. From eating entire baskets of food in one sitting to consuming live animals, garbage, and things no human should ever eat, Tarrare's appetite shocked everyone who encountered him. Was he suffering from a rare medical condition, or was something far stranger going on? Join us as we explore one of history's most bizarre and disturbing true stories.

Special Guest: Daniel B. who was framed on our show last week.
