Shownotes

We took a lighter look at some of history’s most bizarre and brutal medieval torture devices. We talked about what these devices were supposedly used for while also questioning how much of the stories surrounding them are actually true. Thankfully, nobody had to test any of them out because retail already has enough ways to torture you. It was a darkly funny trip through history, proving once again that people have been coming up with questionable ideas for a very, very long time.
