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