Episode 194: The Nain Rouge

It takes boldness to build a city, but for Motown’s founder, being self assured meant his downfall. The hubris of man is a dangerous thing, but not as dangerous as a demonic force that must be appeased to keep it from wreaking havoc on those it encounters. Detroiters know to beware this devilish creature, if not, the consequences can be severe. This week's episode is The Nain Rouge.
