Plague Doctors! - Ominous Origins

What this episode covers

In this episode of the podcast, I have a brand new intro! Hopefully you like it, if not, let me know! I'm here to please. But the cast itself features one of the most interesting professions in history: The Plague Doctor! With their bird-like costumes, the plague doctor had the privilege of caring for, attending, and advising those who suffered from the bubonic plague. Enjoy! Also this weekend (November 3rd/4th) I will be at Horror-Rama in Toronto. Be sure to drop by if you're in the area. There will be a lot of great speakers and vendors there, so come on down and celebrate horror! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/Ominous-Origins-1.
