Trigger warning : violence This episode we’re jumping right into it - the history of invisible ink! But don’t miss our preamble where we learn things we probably should’ve already known about sheep. Then we’re diving into the Revolutionary War’s Culper Spy Ring, WWII’s worst spies, mummified pocket-lemons, and the wildly detailed process of revealing invisible correspondence. We’ve got cats craving violence, a little blood magic between spies, and code name: Parmesan stealing from casinos. Tune ...

Don’t cast a kitten! We’re back this week with some wild and wacky 1920’s slang. So come rest your dogs with us, but watch those slooty ankles, kids. These Disney princess bearcats are here to mind our potatoes (but never our own beeswax), or maybe just the potatoes over at the commune. Join us while we wonder, who is Jake, and why is he the exemplary human for all things copacetic? Pour yourself a glass of giggle water or coffin varnish, maybe get a little splifficated if you so choose. But if ...

Bounce with us, and the wallabies, into the topic of animals and stimulants, and listen to Meredith pretend she can pronounce all sorts of words without looking up how to say them first! Join us in our perpetual pondering: if people get high - for fun, for spiritual reasons, and more - do dolphins? Big horn sheep?

Move aside Neil Caffrey, and Akon, please write in. It’s time to talk about wine heists - it’s not a get rich quick scheme, kids, it’s a don’t get caught scheme. Pour yourself a glass of non-forged (hopefully) wine or a jug of CVS sangria, and listen while Kelsey talks about a Christmas Night wine heist in the Bay Area, $1,000 dinner plans, and Meredith’s dream job with the FBI Wine-Crime division (okay, okay, maybe that division doesn’t quite exist...but it should).

Blood tea, anyone? Come get subcultural with us this week and hear about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the modern day, true vampire.

Someone give us a cool adjective, damn it. This week we’re going Down Under with the rogues and vagabonds to chat about some weird Australian history. Travel with us through space and time, to a century when lonely travelers may encounter bridge trolls, *gasp*, and where dressing up as ghosts and scaring people on the street was a novel pastime. Put on your sugarloaf hat and white sheets, and get ready for this maybe not so century-specific activity. And watch out for your local upstanding citiz...

Come trans-migrate with us this episode as Meredith takes us through the concepts of Reincarnation & Past-Life Regression. You’re in for a wild ride this week full of shockingly honest kiddos, hobbies for 20-somethings who may as well be 90 years old, and some crazy Horcrux shit. Come talk a little science, have a little story time, and listen to a whole lot of Kelsey and Meredith being semi-skeptical and freakishly excited about this topic.
