8. Dance, Dance Revelations

from The History Mongers · host B-Unit Productions

This week we paint our shoes, hit the dance floor and avoid the dead peasant pile. Take our autumn quiz, which demon are you possessed by and which saint is the best pairing whilst out on the town. Also, why have city councils been terrible for centuries?  Not only that, but we cover a mystery about soiled store produce, what to do when your city council won't fix a pothole and why children will eventually kill us all.  We were joined by Joseph Arvidson, criminal justice expert and podcaster (The Criminologist) who can found at:  Web: https://theparagongroupllc.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-arvidson-ms-597960b8/Instagram: @thecriminologistpodcast   The History Mongers, brought to you by B-Unit Productions, is a history andentertainment podcast by nerds, for nerds.
