LEO TAXIL-"PALLADIUM PLAYERS CLUB"

What's up me beautiful babies?! Welcome to our OFFICIAL inaugural episode of "Kooks, Cranks, & Iconoclasts!" featuring the new crew! This episode we're covering the mysterious Leo Taxil (or are we?) (No, we totally are.) and his turn of the 19th century expose of "The Palladium", the supposedly Satanic conspiracy secretly existing within the highest ranks of global Freemasonry! (Or are we?) (No, for sure though we totally are!) This one's got a twist that you won't wanna miss! (Or if you already know this story, then just tune in for all the kooky color commentary!) This episode also counts as an unofficial sequel to our demo episode on "The Hellfire Club" as well. All that and "What's Weird This Week?"
