Devil's Trap: A Supernatural Podcast

We are Stuck in the Middle with You and the Winchesters in Season 12, Episode 12. We delve into the important topics like "Why do demons whistle?" "Is Classic Horny Demon a better title for a sex tape or an album?" "Will Mary suffer from bladder kharma?" and "Why would you ever agree to go hunting with the Winchesters?" During lore, Liz attempts to summarize Rosicrucianism and the secret societies it inspired.

Regarding Season 12, Episode 11, "Regarding Dean," we have some thoughts. Plus, because Rowena tells a story of a witch, Liz tells the story of three witches who were tried in the 1500s! Heard about the trial of Mother Waterhouse (The Chelmsford Witch Trials) and the familiar, Sathan!

No, Season 12 Episode 8 "LOTUS" is not about a flower, but instead about the time that Lucifer possessed the president? They didn't! But they did.
