Tsantsas on Resonance FM

Discussion of the ancient art of head shrinking

Want to know more about the curious history of the Jivaro Indians and their tsantsas, or shrunken heads, after reading the interview with Ripley's Believe It Or Not archivist, Edward Meyer, in FT230? Or did you miss that issue and need basic lessons in how, exactly, you might go about boiling your enemy's head and reducing it to the size of a necklace pendant? Then tune in to Resonance FM on 19 December to hear Mark Pilkington talking to Meyer and author Phil Baker about why and how the heads were made, as well as addressing more practical questions such as where you might be able to get hold of one and whether it's possible to shrink an entire person.
