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.

How C.S. Lewis Helped Me Leave the Church
It's another field trip! Pack a water bottle and a first-aid kit.
Take the Bus from Hell to Heaven with our brave cohosts. In this episode, Julie discusses how The Great Divorce, started her on a path out of the church. (Probably not the author's intent, but this podcast is rife with unintended consequences, as evidenced by the lives of the hosts.)
Along the way, Julie and Jarad rescue Crowley, discuss the importance being able to consider other viewpoints, and explore whether God is more like your granddad or a big, dark void. They also manage to get off at a few wrong bus stops on the way back.
