Lithium Jubilee

The 24th episode of Lithium Jubilee is all about faux nobility. Jon describes the adventures of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a kingly moniker for a man who is remembered more for his bridges than his thrones. Erin introduces us to a beloved gent who divined himself the Emperor of the United States. We hope when you've finished this episode your boosted refinement goes straight to your head! Where else is a crown supposed to sit?

Have you ever wondered, what the hell does Lithium Jubilee have against the Pinkertons? Wonder no more! Episode 23 offers a primer in Pinkerton studies. Erin gives us insight into the man himself, Allen Pinkerton, while Jon describes the event that cements the agency into a group worthy of vulgarity. Keep those eyes open and don't sleep on this episode!

New Year, New You as the saying goes. Lithium Jubilee is here for you with a brand new episode with advice about navigating this whacky world, from casual social interactions to finding that special someone with a spectacularly shaped skull.

Minisode 3: We know you're still kicking bachelors out of the house and sloughing through whisky and fruitcake, so here's a minisode to start 2018. Lithium Jubilee has a smattering of news clippings to tickle your fancy! Jon's unearthed a story of a gentlemen with a surprising security system and Erin finds her long lost sisters. Let's begin the year not with a bang but with a giggle! Or maybe a harrumph?

Minisode 2: Lithium Jubilee is going to make 2018 your best year from the get-go! Erin and Jon give you a rundown on celebrating the coming new year in the luckiest way possible in a special truncated episode. If you don't have 20 minutes to take our advice, and then let blondes or fires cross your threshold when the clock strikes 12, it won't be our fault your year sucks.

Christmas is the quintessential Victorian holiday, pageantry and extravagance derived from a hodgepodge of beliefs stolen from other cultures! That's why the 21st episode of Lithium Jubilee will be giving you a smattering of the origins of some familiar Christmas traditions of the past and present ("yet to come" isn't really our scene).

Lithium Jubilee has made it's way to 20 episodes and we're celebrating the only appropriate way, with CHINA! Since we haven't quite figured out how to offer a dinner party via podcast, we'll head right to the source. Jon peeked into the opium wars and found it was way too extensive for just one podcast so he grabbed a little off the top and scurried away without making eye contact. Erin, always enamored by shiny things, is bringing the story of the Shining Red Lanterns, a badass bevy of boxer belles. Join us as we celebrate our 20th by exchanging China without all the clutter.

It's the time of year where you're likely going to have to eat with non-preferred people, and Lithium Jubilee is here to help! Our 19th episode will guide you through the most unforgiving terrain: the dinner table. Jon proves there's hope for us heathens, detailing the who, what and why of table manners. Erin, said heathen, argues the value and historic context of brunch. Celebrate these uncomfortable meals the truly Victorian way, with disdain in your heart and a smile on your lips.

We've all fallen prey to bad advice offered by attractive yet unreliable sources. Episode 18 of Lithium Jubilee takes a look at some of the Victorian health fads that would not seem out of place on GOOP or any other cultish/lifestyle website devoid of any medical or scientific evidence. Erin explains the dangers of Mercury, a toxic cure-all and Jon weaves us through the laborious, lethal lady's beauty regimen. Remember, you can't spell "Hindsight" without "sigh"!
