A podcast that explores the historical and cultural relevance of the figure known as the Devil. For many, The Devil is an entity not to be trifled with. He (most often it is a "he" pronoun) has an aim to tempt you away from God. For others, The Devil is a fictitious character carefully designed as propaganda; a scare tactic for the faithful. The consequences of this belief around The Devil have been severe. Antisemitism, the crusades, the inquisition, the witch trials, the Satanic Panic, and even today there is Q'Anon. The Devil is VERY real to many people and in this podcast we will look into how this came to be. You already know The Devil You Know. We are uncovering The Devil You DON'T Know.

Religions typically blame evil on personified entities, yet it seems so much bigger than any one person or thing. In order to understand conceptions of the Devil we must first understand this seemingly simple notion. However, evil is anything but simple.
