Last Podcast On The Left

This week, we continue our five-part series on the Black Death. In Part Three, we take a closer look at the Catholic Church's system of selling indulgences; we learn how one horny pope moved the papacy to Avignon; we examine the virulent antisemitism that engulfed so much of plague-stricken Europe; and we recount the tale of the curse of Grand Master de Molay.

On part two, we explore the ways in which war, superstition, and fear gripped Europe as the plague robbed the continent of human life. Then, we travel north through Italy to get a closer look at the disease as it moved like a piranha, spilling blood in the gutters of Messina, Florence, Venice, and beyond. 

What does God's divine retribution look like? How far can rats jump? And what is the most elegant way to ditch your sickly family member? All answers will be revealed.

This week we begin a five-part series on a catastrophe that remains one of the most destructive things to ever happen to humanity — the Black Death AKA the Great Mortality AKA the Big Death. For part one, we examine the conditions that led to the worst pandemic in history. Spoiler alert: it involves an ungodly amount of human shit.

This week we explore the Goblin Universe — a hypothetical dimension conceptualized by a writer named Ted Holiday that incorporates aliens, ghosts, cryptids, and all manner of the unexplained. We go chapter by chapter through Holiday's posthumously-published book, to make sense of this unifying theory of the paranormal.

This week we're slaking our thirst for alien phenomena by tackling Unidentified Submerged Objects. 

USOs have been spotted around the world for centuries — in lakes, gliding atop the ocean, or deep beneath the sea. But where do they come from? And why water?
