About this listen

In this bonus episode, we hit pause on the horror (mostly) and dive into the real local history behind Episodes 5–7 of our Call of Cthulhu actual play series. Join us as we ramble through stories about Cincinnati’s bizarre past—from the rise of Porkopolis and the dark legacy of George Remus, to the Cyclones, The Gardens, and other deep cuts from the Queen City’s past.

It’s part history lesson, part comedy chaos—basically what happens when you hand a Lovecraftian RPG group a Cincinnati tourism brochure.
