The Abandoned Podcast
Joe Heath
The Abandoned Podcast is a podcast focused on the history and lore of abandoned places and locations throughout the world. The houses we build, the places we go, the monuments we create, are all part of the physical world around us. Humans inherently are creators. We pour our passion into our society, yet sometimes when all order fails, only our physical imprints our left. This podcast serves to tell the history of those people and places that have fallen through the cracks of time. Welcome, to The Abandoned Podcast.

Bullets And Fire
There are times when humanity shows the world just how cruel and insane we can be. We are excellent at becoming both the hero and the villain. Abandoned places sometimes reflect our evil, sometimes we leave places for a reason, they are intentionally abandoned. Sometimes, the truth behind why is more chilling than any fiction.
