This week, it's the thunder god and Thursday namesake: Thor. This story is a gender bending one, Thor has to dress up as Freya and pretend to marry someone to get his ""hammer"" back (someone queue Freud). A whole ox and several barrels of ale later, and Thor is still rocking his wedding dress. We have so. many. thoughts. Luckily! we have the wonderful Shu Matsuo Post (@shumatsuopost) author of I Took Her Name to discuss this one with us.

The non-profit pairing this week is Planned Parenthood (www.plannedparenthood.org). We will be making a donation, and we hope you do too.

Hosted by Rachael Marr and Mindy Scott. Audio production and music by Aaron Crossland. Researched and written by Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr. Episode music by F. Laroque, available at flarocque.bandcamp.com.
