The Dispatchist
…A friendly podcast about hell and some other stuff.

Morbid Anatomy, September 17: A History of Satan(s)!
Join Victoria and Jacob as we cheerfully plow over 4500 years of myth, religion, and pop culture, and chatter gleefully about the personification of evil! Morbid Anatomy is graciously hosting a 2-hour online talk and mini-workshop, and we’re very excited to be a part of their community! Register for their workshop on their web store…members of the Morbid Anatomy Patreon will get a discount and access to the recorded session later (but we’d love to see you there!)
The DispatchIst is a friendly ongoing conversation about Hell in its many forms…as a story, as a social technology, as a mythology all its own. Side-topics may or may not include the devil, popular culture, comparative religion, Dungeons and Dragons, mixed drinks, horror films, medieval snuff porn, schadenfreude, whether Tundale could kick Dante’s butt (probably, maybe not in a literary sense), Norwegian death metal, latitudinarianism, and whatever else seems relevent this week.
