Hello again, friends!

We’re back this week with an all new episode full of adventure, science, and a few spiders. Hopefully, you’re cool with spiders. If not, here’s a trigger warning: we are going to discuss some disturbing history and some stuff about spiders in tea/hair/faces/etc.

This week, Maggie decided to research Olga of Kiev – the badass ruler who decimated a tribe of people under her protection after they brutally murdered her husband. We are taking a trip back to somewhere around 900 AD in the area that was known as Kievan Rus – so try to bear with us as we mispronounce names and probably get history wrong.

Back before we started the podcast and we were just discussing ideas, one of our ideas was to have a show that was just about discussing various urban legends. Since this is our podcast and we are allowed to do what we want, Dreia is going for an urban legend this week. She’s going to tell us the story of the family that was poisoned by a spider in their morning tea. Regardless of how science actually works, this story (and similar stories) tends to pop up every few years and make the social media rounds. So, always check your tea kettles!
