Chapters 18 through 49 of Dark[er] Days of Dorothy Gale are a reimagining of the first portion of Dante's Divine Comedy, The Inferno. Each Aftermath episode of the podcast for these chapters includes an in-depth summary of each canto. Each one involves a lot of research, pulling from various sources and translations of the epic poem.
I admit, I'm no scholar. In fact, I'm probably the furthest thing from a scholar you can get. I might get some things wrong here and there, and I almost assuredly mispronounce every name found in the Inferno. All that aside, it doesn't mean I don't at least try.
If you're wondering where I get my information, here is a list of some of my favorite resources.

The World of Dante - Microsoft Edge gives me the "Not Secure" label in the address bar of the browser, but this site offers a plethora of information. Always proceed with caution when you visit a "Not Secure" site.
.
Divine Comedy-I: Inferno Study Guide | GradeSaver - Very similar to Spark Notes and Cliffs Notes. Grade Saver offers a lot of the same information and has proven to be a great source with nice page design.

Dante’s Inferno Translated by Clive James - Read it or listen to it, either way it's a great translation and well worth your time.
