“ Is there a whole lot of murdering going on?”

hero image for pg's playhouse assasination by umbrella

This week, we’re talking Assassination by Umbrella, a slightly morbid topic inspired by our guests, Marcus Richardson and Nathan Hicken, co-hosts of the Aurelius Whitlock’s Murder Museum podcast. Researching the game takes a dark and surprising turn when Peih-Gee, acting upon David’s suggestion, finds herself in a shadowy corner of the internet. David gives us a fascinating historical recount of the assassination of Bulgarian activist Georgi Markov using a poison-tipped umbrella. Today’s game is called Morbid Mottos, which centers around some dark phrases.
