The Liberal Aren'ts

Episode 41: I’m the Pants Lawyer (Thurídur Einarsdóttir ft. Sebastían)

It’s a very special post-Christmas Christmas episode of The Liberal Aren’ts, where we learn about a piece of Icelandic history with our Icelandic friend Sebastían! Sebastían (he/him/she/her) regales us with the story of a woman who was a fisherman, a sea captain, and…an amateur detective?! Learn about Þuríður (Anglicized as Thurídur) Einarsdóttir with us! Plus, Rissa tells us why the three wise men in your Grandma’s nativity set are diverse despite being manufactured in the seventies! Clio wants to start a spin-off series. Sebastían always blames the Victorians. Rissa is in love with Þuríður. You can miss Science with those permits. Episode 41: I’m the Pants Lawyer (Thurídur Einarsdóttir ft. Sebastían)

And They Were Both Walruses (Norse Mythology I)

Do you love a mythological cow? You’re about to! Join us as Rissa regales us with Norse mythology, but first: cursed science facts with Clio! Clio recommends you buy your beloved a snail. Science had a pokemon on her desk. Rissa wants you to forget Marvel. If you buy Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology, don’t forget to go to your local bookstore or Bookshop.org [https://bookshop.org/a/24784/9780393356182]! Check out this snail hunting down this starfish, it’s totally rad. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBAyyoZOUl0] “And They Were Both Walruses (Norse Mythology I)”

Episode 39: All About the Hubris, Baby! (Analyzing Jurassic Park II)

At long last! We’re back with part two of our Jurassic Park series! Join us as we look upon the works of foolish scientists and capitalists and say Hey…Don’t Do That. Rissa inexplicably has mom energy. Science is certainly not Ian Malcolm. Clio just wants Chris Pratt to ride a dinosaur.
