Under the Pendulum Podcast

This is our 20th full length episode!! Not to worry, we already pat ourselves on the back. To celebrate our new milestone, we will be covering four stories of tyranncide in history. Join as we talk about tyrant-slaying lovers, roasting people alive, an insane Roman emperor, and one of the most brutal deaths we have ever heard of. No one ever said being a tyrant was good for your health. Won't you join us on this episode of Under the Pendulum Podcast.

Happy New Year Everyone!! We decided to give ourselves a little break and will be putting out a short narration done by the incomparable Heather Weber.

So sit back, relax, and grab a tissue for this special New Year edition of Under the Pendulum Podcast. 

Happy Holidays you ghouls! On this special holiday episode, we will be covering some lesser known Christmas traditions and folklore.

In this episode, Heather, Chris, and Kaitlin regale one another with strange and ghostly tales from Colorado. We have haunted hotels, phantom prospectors, mysterious vaults, and bodies a plenty.
