Summary

In the 1940s, Henrietta Lacks, a mother, wife, and pillar of her community, battled extremely aggressive cancer under extremely racist circumstances. In exchange for monetary payment, her doctors took pieces of her body for research. Henrietta went on to change the world and make some people quite rich. The only thing is, she was dead, and no one bothered to tell her family.

"Strange and Unexplained" is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab & Three Goose Entertainment and is a journey into the uncomfortable and the unknowable that will leave you both laughing and sleeping with the lights on.
