The tales originate from Africa and have ties to the Caribbean.

Hello, Lovelies! Welcome to the episode where Tiffany goes from 0 to 100... again. In March of 1944, Aimo Koivunen, a Finnish soldier, found himself under chase by the Russians. On skis. Not to be taken without a fight, Aimo and his comrades start trying to escape on skis. After hours, Aimo decides he needs a little help and takes a little (ok, a lot) pervitin. What's pervitin? Join us this week as we giggle about soldiers on skis and Tiffany basically giggles the entire time.

Hello, Lovelies! (DISCLAIMER: we do briefly talk about sexual assault this episode, so if that is a sensitive topic, please put your mental health first and tune back in next week) This week, Tiffany takes a singular source from 1590, and runs wild with it.  “How wild?”, you ask. As wild as a werewolf (the Bedburg Werewolf to be precise). Peter Stumpp was a wealthy farmer who sold his soul to the devil for a magic girdle (or belt… whatever) that turned him into a werewolf on demand.  Was he actually a werewolf? (Duh.) Was he a serial killer with a lot of body hair? Did the 1580’s (mis)understanding of mental health issues play a role in his conviction?  Or was Peter just a victim of the Catholic witch hunt against Protestants? Tune in and decide for yourself as Tiffany attempts to seduce you with ye olden language and girdles.
