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
The Devil at the Crossroads! Plus More Cowbell and Toads From Hell
Julie and Jarad discuss the trickster nature of the devil in folklore and why you better read the fine print if you make a deal with him. Jarad introduces some folklore about witches and offers to buy Julie a cowbell. Also some weird frogs and St. Augustine get thrown into this weird, witchy brew.
