Welcome to the first of our snack miniseries! We've been keeping very busy with our live shows (thank you to all who attend, we treasure you) but we still want to bring some fun discussions to the RSS feed for our long-distance fans. We will be exploring a variety of topics that relate to previous episodes and live shows, but are not necessarily paranormal. Today, we're talking about the thriving Instagram community of #bjdsales!

Hi, there! Can I come in? This spring, we're launching a series about vampires in society. In this, our first vampire episode, Augusta & Eva introduce vampiric lore and discuss some strategies for staying safe from vampires. We talk garlic, stakes, garlic steaks... the works.

In another fun character-focused freeform bonus episode, Augusta and Eva discuss the children of Anton LaVey (the so-called 'Father of Satanism'), and the ways in which they carried on and challenged his legacy. Do the Black Pope's children still practice Satanism? Did any of them change their name to Ethan? Is one of them the clone-mother of Taylor Swift? We answer two of these questions, and more!

This week, Eva & Augusta conclude our recent witchcraft series with a discussion of the Satanic panic of the 1980s. In this episode, we discuss Michelle Remembers, Anton LaVey, and how the moral outrage and social distrust of the Satanic panic was a preview for the behavior of contemporary QAnon conspiracy theorists.
