Perdition City Station
Jarad and Julie travel through the theology of the afterlife by train, bus, auto, ferry, and on foot. First stop Perdition City Station, last stop? Who knows?
They will be joined by cats, an occasional guest, ghosts, and a dead guy named Morty who came to hang out one Halloween and never left.
Come for the laughs, stay for the suffering.
This podcast contains some adult language and situations.
Perdition City Station
Went on a Field Trip to Tartarus and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt
Julie and Jarad go back on the timeline to the point where people started to say, "Hey! Life isn't fair. Wouldn't it be cool if there was some way to make it fair after we die?"
Come for the scenery, Jarad's incessant whining, and the discussion about how every idea gets ruined by power hungry chaos goblins - even Hell.
We used Bart Ehrman's Heaven and Hell, a history of the afterlife and a very old copy of Bullfinch's Mythology to guide us on our way.

Trigger warning: There's some bad stuff happening in Tartarus. Trigger warning for brief mention of suicide, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
Meet us here at Perdition City Station every week for another excursion into Hell.
Hosted by Julie Price Carpenter and Jarad Johnson.
