It may be Norsevember for everyone, but for the Gals, it's GREEK NORSEVEMBER where we try to find the threads that connect ancient Greece and ancient Scandinavia! Professor Cait takes a trip down the Amber Road from the ancient Baltic Sea regions all the way down to ancient Ethiopia. Along the way, we learn why auto insurance has ALWAYS been so expensive for teenage boys.

43: Episode 43 - Learner's Permit Gone Bad

Gods behaving badly.
Mortals behaving badly.
Everyone behaving badly.

Join Cait, Original Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill all the divine tea from Olympus to Valhalla.

To celebrate 100 official episodes, we’ve got a story about Satan, Switzerland, and chicken genetics. 



In 1474, the city of Basel put a rooster on trial for the crime of…laying an egg. Add in  a cockatrice, Pliny the Elder, witchcraft, dubious morals and questionable priorities, some honey badgers, and the National Poultry Journal. 



Look, it’s not my fault that nothing is new, and people are horrible. 



Also, keep an eye out for our spinoff podcast coming soon, “Murder Most Ancient.” (More info to come!)

100: Episode 100 - Murder Most Fowl

Bottoms up! It’s a party, ancient-Ibiza style! Thanks to Dracula’s Guest, the Gals swing on over to the Balearic Islands to find more than they ever wanted about the ancient world’s most feared sharp shooters.

99: Episode 99 - Swinging Slingers

Happy Halloween! Yabblins, the Drunk Dracula Gals are back with a very special presentation of “Dracula’s Guest” by Bram Stoker. It’s Jonathan Harker at his best (which is pretty bad), a carriage driver who did not sign up for this sh*t, and a wolf that just wants to snuggle. SPECIAL GUEST STAR BANDIT! (My dog has existential despair, and we used his crying as some of the sound effects!)

98: Drunk Dracula Gals - SPECIAL!

Stupid Stonehenge updates, sacred circles without aliens, and I really have questions about the Kansas City Star. It's just another episode of Hot Drunk News!



Also, it's official, Ancient D*ck Pics is my second favorite segment of Hot Drunk News. Obviously, "Would You Eat It?" is my fist.

97: Episode 97 - Hot Drunk News

I really tried with this episode, but there's not a whole lot that's uplifting in mythology for LGBTQI...and what I thought was going to be just a regular ragey episode turned into...well...you know it's bad when Other Jenn starts dropping F-bombs that aren't in the script.



As I mention at the end, here are resources that I found for LGBTQI and specifically intersex support:



https://interactadvocates.org/resources/intersex-organizations/ 

https://www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/article/resources-for-international-lgbtq-youth/ 

https://befrienders.org/ 



Here is the link for the art project Jenn was talking about. Sorry that you won't be able to unsee it afterwards!
