Summary

Whilst I'm finishing up my Winter holiday, i wanted to share with you all one of my favourite shows, from a good friend of mine, Southern Gothic! This episode is a really good example fo what they do over there, and I'm sure it's something you'd like if you're into Dark histories. If you'd like to subscribe, you can find his Podcast linked here: https://podfollow.com/southern-gothic Or just search Southern Gothic on your favourite podcast player. Here's a little blurb about the episode: According to an old Blues legend, Robert Johnson sold his soul down at the crossroads for the ability to play guitar like no other. This episode tells the tale of Robert Johnson’s life–his many heartbreaks and missteps– and seeks to understand the origin of that infamous piece of folklore. I hope you enjoy it, and I'll see you real soon with Season 9. Cheers! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
