In our first ever wildcard episode, Ashley serves up something special: the French folktale, “Bluebeard.” This dish has dark historical foundations, a seriously suspenseful center, and a few questionable morals to add the final flourish. This is one bedtime story you might want to leave the lights on for...unless you’re a fan of seeing sinister shapes in the shadows.Podcast Promo from The Student's Verdict https://linktr.ee/thestudentverdictTo stay on top of all the latest from Pineapple Pizza Podcast, be sure to check out our website at www.pineapplepizzapodcast.com where you will find links to merch, Patreon and a variety of ways to support the show, as well as detailed episode descriptions and regional specials.
