History was not written with ink alone. It was carved into bone stretched on racks and burned into flesh. In this episode of Strange Brew Podcast we descend into the darkest corners of human ingenuity to explore real torture methods used throughout history with a heavy focus on medieval cruelty and state sanctioned suffering.
From devices designed to force confessions to punishments meant to publicly terrify entire populations we break down how torture became a tool of power control religion and fear. There is no romantic version of the past here only the brutal reality of what justice discipline and obedience once looked like when mercy was optional and pain was policy.
Disturbing fascinating and at times darkly absurd this episode balances historical context with grim humor exposing how far humanity has gone in the name of order belief and authority. Listener discretion is advised. This is one of our most uncomfortable episodes yet.
