The 1,001 Nights are some of the most iconic human stories of all time - they feature every human drama, from cheating, to beheading, magical spells, jinn, war, revenge!

These stories were told as part of an oral tradition for thousands of years and were refined by region and story tellers over generations.

This episode I will tell the story of the premise of this epic and begin my favorite story : The Porter and the Three Ladies .

Settle in and prepare to be transported to the golden age of the Persian Empire.

Jump down a rabbit hole of sexual fantasies, accused withcraft, horny nuns, medieval politics, and public executions as we discuss the possessions of Loudun and the 1971 film "The Devils" which was buried/ banned for 30 years after its release

This is a true story that is truly wild and honestly quite rare. How often do we think about the day to day life of a young nun in her sexual prime hidden away from the world during a bubonic plague outbreak?

Or what it would have been like to be a powerful and outspoken Protestant priest who defended his city and his right to fornicate ?
