Death on Payroll: The Life of an Executioner | The Observe and Rapport Show #40
Thursday, 2 October, 2025

Keith and Kyle sit down to discuss the life of Frantz Schmidt, a sixteenth-century executioner in Nuremberg, Germany. Based on Schmidt's unique journal, the book explores his public role in executing and punishing people, his private struggles with his profession and religious faith, and his attempt to gain honor and avoid the social stigma of being an executioner.  A rare, detailed look into the era's criminal justice, social customs, and even medical practices, challenging the common perception of executioners as monsters. Books discussed in this episode:The Faithful Executioner - Joel F.
