In episode 39 of The Dancing Toaster, I take listeners through the shadowed streets and stories of Amsterdam, uncovering five locations where history and legend intertwine. From Bloedstraat, with its blood-soaked associations of executions and oppression, to Spooksteeg’s tale of jealousy and haunting, the infamous Spinhuis prison, the leaning Montelbaanstoren, and the sorrowful Schreierstoren—each site reveals how a city can carry centuries of grief, myth, and memory. Blending historical detail with biblical reflection, the journey explores whether places themselves can feel haunted, not necessarily by spirits, but by the weight of human sorrow and the echoes of a fallen world.

The Dancing Toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith and the unexplained.

I release new episodes every Tuesday wherever podcasts are found.
