Everyone knows there is nothing cooler than sweet tats and sick dragons, so in this week's episode we're bringing you both. Cass takes us to the Philippines to school us in the Kalinga art of the batok tattoo, and then Nat takes us on a whirlwind adventure to prove once and for all that dragons are real.

December 06, 2022094 - Cheers, Beers & Queers (feat. Nia Ryan of Herbiery)
We're taking beer back to it's roots, literally, with a not-so-hoppy history lesson from our friend Nia Ryan at Herbiery. Join us as we talk about the history of hops, the proven potential of hop-free beers, and what Queering Beer means to us.
Learn more about Herbiery and where to find their delicious beers at Herbiery.com
And look out for their taproom in the Atwood neighborhood this spring!
More on Nia
Nia Ryan is the Founder of Herbiery. They've also lived about 1000 lives at this point and all roads have led back to Nature...and Wisconsin. From canoeing and camping with the Wild River Academy to long distance trail running, Nia cherishes memories made out in the wild. These days they are continuously expanding their herbal education, crafting herbal salves, syrups and salad dressings, reading insatiably, cooking elaborate dinners and, of course, brewing beer without hops -- something they consider a natural extension of their queer identity. Queering beer!

November 15, 2022092 - The Last Badass (feat. Tehya from For The Love of History)
If Tom Cruise is involved, it's wrong. That's one of many lessons we take away from this week's episode on samurai women warriors, or the onna-bugeisha, with Tehya from For The Love of History Podcast. Listen to Tehya's podcast here.

November 08, 2022091 - Nobby Nat & The Unwashed Casses
Coming up with new nicknames is an art form, and this episode is chocked full of art. Cass teaches us all about composer, conductor and family man Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (not to be confused with Samuel Taylor Coleridge). And while they may not have been lauded a fine art in their time, Nat's topic of Dime Novels (or Penny Dreadfuls) are responsible for a lot of the advances in printing and prose you enjoy to day.
