  • Ep.7 – Centaurs 2: 2 centaur 2 furious

    What did centaurs evolve from? Can a centaur enjoy a cheeseburger? How can we reconcile the floppy neck of a newborn human with the precocious mobility of a foal? And finally, to solve the question of the custom D&D miniature that sparked the whole conversation, do female centaurs nurse from the human torso, or from the horso?

  • Ep.5 – Phoenix: bird-degree burns

    What exactly is going on when a phoenix is reborn? This week, we give the question of phoenix immortality the third degree as we cross-examine witnesses from ancient Greek historians and philosophers to Starfleet Chief Medical Officers. Will the legend of a single immortal entity prove to be phoenix right or phoenix wrong? We'll be the judge of that.

  • Ep.2 – Mermilk

    How viscous is mermaid milk exactly? For that matter, are mermaids even mammals? Join Lee, Rachel, and Troy as they attempt to classify these seeming fish-human hybrids, citing sources from ancient Greek myth to animated films and a cheese company's website that seems a bit too good to be true.
