About this listen

 That swirling, writhing mass of gnashing teeth and gruesome all-nude hardcore torture - OR - that dull, dank, black solitude far below something-ness - OR - simply, other people. Today we are talking about the history of the Western concept of Hell, from ancient Mesopotamia through the modern state of Christian Hell. I hope you like mythology.  Sources: Alice K. Turner.
