This is it. Our last drunk storytime episode. This time, Cultural Intern Z is BLASTED and telling us the story of Admetus & Alcestis, lovers who somehow actually made it out okay in this Greek myth.
Originally published March 13, 2020.
The dynamic duo is back! Cultural Interns Eris and Z meet up to talk about the spring equinox and spring holidays around the world, like Holli, Ostara, and of course, Easter.

Cultural Interns Eris and Z talk about a bunch of snake myths from around the world: the ourobouros, Nidhogg, Quezacoatl, Medusa, and Ningizzida, among others. There are so many snakes in those trees, folks.

Eris and Z are BACK and talking in-depth about half-person, half creature myths, like centaurs, mermaids, Celtic ceasgs, Mesopotamian kusarikku, and Chinese jiaoren. They also have a pretty frank discussion about the nature of enthusiastic consent, and where the lines of bestiality are drawn from an ethical standpoint.

A completely blasted Eris regales us with the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. For a story with so many decapitations in it, there sure is a lot of kissing involved.

We’re going on hiatus until at least the first of the year (2021). In the meantime, we’re migrating the rest of our episodes over to our new podcasting network, and figuring out how to better record episodes from either end of town from each other without losing sound quality. Hopefully when we return, we’ll have both of those things fixed. :)
In the meantime, listen to The Holodeck is Broken, yeah?
Many thanks,
Eris <3

We're talking about faeries again! Z has info on the alux from the Yucatan Peninsula, the curupira from Brazil, and jogah of Iroquois lore. Eris talks about the rings of Rath in Ireland, the asrai of Shropshire, and goes on a long overdue rant about Morgan le Fey of Arthurian legend. It's pretty cool.

Cultural Interns Eris and Z are back at it again, recording together (but apart). It's almost like a regular episode again! And what better way to celebrate than to talk about another kind of pandemic: zombies.

Uh oh, Cultural Intern Eris is talking about etiquette again. Listen as she leap frogs around the world touching on different types of hospitality customs and gift giving superstitions.

Cultural Interns Eris and Z are talking about bugs! Mythological ones, anyway. Bugs in mythology. Mostly just when Loki turns into a fly in order to sabotage Mjolnir's creation and also when Athena turned Arachne into a spider.
Yeah. Bugs.

Let's talk about Fafnir! Cultural Intern Eris retells the Norse myth of Fafnir, the man who turned into a dragon, in today's episode. Loki's in it; Odin's in it; a giant man-sized otter's in it... what's not to like?

Cultural Interns Eris and Z are back at it again--just in different locations! Hear Z talk about important icons in LGBTQIA history, like Marsha P. Johnson, James Whalen, and Florence Nightingale. And then Eris comes in to talk about her personal hero, Julie d'Aubigny. It's wild!

Well, Cultural Intern Eris is flying solo on this one, guys. And because she's on her lonesome, she's talking about her favorite video game series: The Legend of Zelda. Join us on a deep dive into the legend itself and how it's evolved over the years.

Oh snap! Cultural Intern Z and Temp Intern Hayden revisit some of their favorite ghosts stories (that honestly Z never got a chance to get to in the first Hauntings episode because of that great #AtMT nemesis TIME). We got beheaded nuns, we got Indonesian jenglots, we got stories about ghosts with weird feet, just about any ghost you wanna hear about we got. Woo!

We're stuck and separated by quarantine, so Cultural Intern Eris is flying solo (with some help from her trusty Designated Co-Host Driver CJ) on this episode. She's talking about the history of board games, Monopoly, and Lizie Magie in this one.
Also she is drunk.
