About this listen

In this haunting episode, we journey deep into Dante Alighieri’s Inferno—the medieval masterpiece that didn’t just describe Hell, but reshaped how humanity imagines it. From the dark forest to the frozen ninth circle, we explore each circle’s brutal justice and the twisted punishments that still haunt our collective fears today.

But why did Dante’s vision become the blueprint for Hell itself? Why do we fear a place crafted from poetry more than one described in scripture?

Join me as we walk through fire, confront the origins of our darkest ideals, and uncover the truth behind the eternal flames that still burn in our minds.
