    Where to find Episodes 2-7 of Frozen Head

    In the first episode of Frozen Head, you learned about two ordinary people whose deaths were anything but. No, this isn’t one of those true crime docs about a series of brutal murders. Rather, these two unassuming people were a part of a controversial movement – the right to be preserved cryogenically in the hopes of a second chance. After their deaths, decades apart, all hell broke loose between cryonicists and those who reject the supposed quack science of reanimation.

    If you want to hear the rest of Frozen Head, you can binge all seven episodes exclusively on Wondery Plus.
