To celebrate 100 official episodes, we’ve got a story about Satan, Switzerland, and chicken genetics.  In 1474, the city of Basel put a rooster on trial for the crime of…laying an egg. Add in  a cockatrice, Pliny the Elder, witchcraft, dubious morals and questionable priorities, some honey badgers, and the National Poultry Journal.  Look, it’s not my fault that nothing is new, and people are horrible.  Also, keep an eye out for our spinoff podcast coming soon, “Murder Most Ancient.” (More info to come!) #Switzerland, #Basel, #witchcraft, #chickens,#poultry, #history, #comedy Sources for today’s episode: Walter, E.V.

Happy Halloween! Yabblins, the Drunk Dracula Gals are back with a very special presentation of “Dracula’s Guest” by Bram Stoker. It’s Jonathan Harker at his best (which is pretty bad), a carriage driver who did not sign up for this sh*t, and a wolf that just wants to snuggle. SPECIAL GUEST STAR BANDIT!

I really tried with this episode, but there's not a whole lot that's uplifting in mythology for LGBTQI...and what I thought was going to be just a regular ragey episode turned into...well...you know it's bad when Other Jenn starts dropping F-bombs that aren't in the script.

This is the first and last time we EVER do an April Fool's episode because the joke was on us. Tech issues from beginning to end, and I had to record my end from my phone (apologies for the sound). I ended up having to call the cable company because my internet was SO bad. Turns out we had to have over 100 ft of cable replaced.  Other Jenn clearly believes it's because I don't eat rye crackers. I don't, won't, and have no plans to start, so...yeah.  Anyway, who says the ancients didn't have a sense of humor? They did...it was just...a little...off....and maybe a little bloodier. Enjoy our salute to ancient pranksters!

Curses are the Hallmark cards of the ancient world. There's one for every occasion. To celebrate NOT Valentine's Day, we're exploring how the ancients used to sh*t-posting about their exes. And yes, this was originally supposed to come out on Valentine's Day, but I was at the transplant clinic for my treatment, and it just didn't happen. But since it's an anti-love episode, I'm just gonna claim this was my plan all along. WHATEVER!
