The drawing bit is basically having your innards turned into outards (maybe a horse helps) and then, while you're still alive, that offal is tossed onto a fire 🔥 Think Brave heart.

It may be my phone but castbox says this episode is 10 hours long. It isn't, but it does keep restarting after 25 minutes or so. I can't even listen to the damned thing! 😡
