Episode description

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! This week, in preparation for her trip to New York City, Kala talks about the NYC restaurant One if by Land, Two if by Sea. This romantic little restaurant was once owned by the notorious historical figure, Aaron Burr, sir. And it is haunted by him, his daughter, and many others. And the podcast is haunted by the many Hamilton references this causes Kala to make.

Next, Brittany tells us of La Voisin and The Affair of the Poisons. Catherine Montvoisin was just your modern 1600s entrepreneur trying to make her way in the world the best way she knew how… with poison. You know? Lighting candles, shaving metal, using ceremonial blood… the standard stuff. But every educated entrepreneur has to watch out for those pesky witchcraft accusations! It can be your downfall.   

We finish up with a touching Reddit story and Kala talking about how she’s a simp for fighting hockey dudes. This whole episode is a roller coaster, I tell you what.
