Understanding art allows us to understand history: to pin it with images, and pepper it with the faces, colours, drama and expression of its time. This series is designed to give bite-sized insights into the world of Art History, bringing one image to life across a wide-ranging discussion with experts.

***EXPLICIT LANGUAGE*** -Crime/Mysteries/Paranormal/History- - A podcast that dives deep into the unsolved and interesting, with an unpolished and unscripted “pirate radio” style. If you like a conversational style podcast about mysterious stuff, you'll love this!! From 'PODCAST MAGAZINE' : Host Justin Rimmel does a solid job of making listeners feel like we are in the room with him while he shares particularly weird cases he comes across. If old-fashioned true-crime stories are your thing, you will certainly find them on Mysterious Circumstances, too. Justin also does a good job of being a bit skeptical when covering cases. While he doesn’t discount anything paranormal from the start, he does bring in reason and common sense. Whether you are looking for something a little different from the typical true-crime podcasts, or a little scarier, give Mysterious Circumstances a listen. - https://linktr.ee/MC_Podcast - Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - Cover Art by Lindsay Sklarek - - You can find me on Facebook - - Instagram - https://instagram.com/mysterious_podcast/ - Twitter - @podcastMC - - Email - Justin.mcpodcast@gmail.com - - To support the show go to https://www.patreon.com/mysteriouscircumstances - - Or you can buy me a beer through Venmo - @mcpodcast - Read More
