Historian NATALIA MEHLMAN PETRZELA runs through the five tracks she will meet in Hell.
Quite aside from being a Professor of History at the New School, Natalia is the author of two books: Classroom Wars, and Fit Nation, the latter of which takes a fascinating look at the history of exercise as leisure in the United States. She's also a qualified fitness instructor, and a seasoned podcaster: she co-presents the excellent history show Past Present, and was the host of Welcome to your Fantasy, the hit true crime podcast about the Chippendales strip troupe.
Natalia's current podcast series, Extreme: Muscle Men, is about a steroid ring in 1980s California, and is a must listen. Check it out here.
