Myths, Tea & History

A Riverdale Story

24 minutes of Diya saying "Anyways..." every two seconds. In this episode, Shreya and Diya (finally) finish the sequel of Silappatikaram- the second play in this saga, Manimekalai. Listen to the weird life of Kovalan's affair baby- yes, even weirder than Betty seeing auras. Intro: Alexander Nakarada (Bonfire)

Burnings, Beheadings and Bleeding Breasts

If you think Romeo and Juliet is heartbreaking, this story is not for you... Shreya and Diya dive into one of the most famous Indian (Tamilian) plays ever written- 'Silappatikaram'. A tale full of affairs, betrayals- oh, and that one decapitation. Listen in to the perceptions and stereotypes present in 5th century India- the ideals of a perfect woman, what constitutes justice- and how the actions of one person can change the fate of an entire city. Intro: Alexander Nakarada (Bonfire)

Like a nightingale with toothache

Je vous encourage tous à ouvrir la tête avec Diya et Shreya alors que nous parlons du compositeur le plus excentrique de France, Erik Satie. If you didn't get that, up your Google Translate skills and listen to the episode about the life, habits and music of one of the weirdest composers in France. Intro: Alexander Nakarada (Bonfire)

Are you from Tenessee?

In this episode, Diya describes Pythagoras' weird and fascinating cult- yeah, the mathematician. From absurd rules like only wearing white clothes to a lifelong ban on eating beans, listen to what your math teachers never told you about the mathematician and his disciples. TW: Shitty pick up lines included, courtesy Shreya. Theme: Alexander Nakarada (Bonfire)

A Heart a day keeps the Criminals Away!

Shreya and Diya bash on the new Marvel series MoonKnight's extremely inaccurate roots. Who are Khonshu and Ammit, and why have they been picked as the forerunners in the show? Listen to them argue about everything from tea slurping noises to the deontological and utilitarian perspectives on the Egyptian Scales of Judgement. Intro: Alexander Nakarada (Bonfire)
