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.

Revenants for Justice! Poe's The Black Cat
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Julie and Jarad discuss a feline revenant this week, Pluto, the black cat, who returns from the dead side to deliver justice. The episode takes some interesting turns as Julie and Jarad discuss how turning people and pets into objects may backfire. A cat might just cash in several of its nine lives to make sure you get what you deserve.
Topics: Alcohol abuse, animal abuse, the inherent domestic violence in this story that often gets glossed over for the more supernatural elements.
