EP 44: London Beer Flood

If I had a nickel for every time there was an alcohol related disaster in the British Isles, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.  How many alcohol related disasters did you know about before reading that? Because we knew of zero. Besides alcohol poisoning. And all the times we had one too many after our favorite contestant won the Great British Bakeoff.  Today's all about the London beer flood of 1814 and the Dublin Whiskey Fire of 1875. Kick back & join us for a crazy tale! Please rate and review our podcast! We love hearing from you!

EP 41: Haunted Tunnels Baby!!!

What's up bitches? I, Godmother Mal, am about to bring you an epic episode all about (please guess this right) . . . TUNNELS! These are supposed to be some of the most haunted tunnels in North America. Who decides these are the most haunted???? How do they decide what "most haunted" means???? Don't worry, we provide our theories on  the subject. Now, sure, tunnels are scary. But you know what else is scary? Eating something and having no idea what it is! To pair with our story, we tried a Japanese KitKat we got while visiting Chicago! What flavor, you ask? I wish we knew!
