THORB The Trial of Radulf Burntwine Part 2

The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine: A Horror, Dark Fantasy, Medical Mystery Audio Drama Umberto Eco Meets H.P. Lovecraft in a world of Occult Academia, Laboratory Judaica. Heavily inspired by Jewish mythology, the world of Olam uses Hebrew, Arabic, Slavic and other real world languages and cultures to create a rich tapestry of a grim, fantastical, planet that doesn't sacrifice scientific accuracy or historicity. The Trial of Radulf Burntiwine Part 1 Radulf Finds himself before the Beit Din, a tribunal of Netonic Judges and a panel of jurors from the Sanhadrim. He is to defend his works and actions so that the Beit Din can determine if his excommunication and that of his institute will be upheld, or if they will be legitimized and canonized by the Toveran Reformationist Church. Part 2 is the Leha’id (Witnesses and Testimony) and the Gzera (Sentencing). The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine sits at the intersection of dark fantasy, body horror, and forensic investigation. If you've ever wanted a podcast that treats disease and mythology with the same care as a true crime documentary, this is the show for you. Radulf is not a hero. He's a disgraced curmudgeonly cleric with a terrible bedside manner and more pride than sense. This episode contains: descriptions of cannibalism, bodily decomposition, eye trauma, tissue decay, grief, and the death of multiple characters including a child, suicide.

Amazing horror podcast

Apr 26

HTLMan777

Set in an original world plagued by eldritch diseases. The series isn’t a big multicast audio drama, nevertheless the voice acting and worldbuilding is top notch. I especially like how the show sticks to the fact that the diseases and their strange effects are the primary supernatural element.
Wonderful stories and amazing passion

Fantastic

Just fantastic, seriously. The world building is insane and immense. What do you mean there are pantheons of Gods and Demons? I find it hard trying to work and listen to this because i just want to envelop myself in this world.
Soothing and intriguing
