Gather round at your local beerery and try not to get caught out in this flood of worthless info. This week we have sticky situations galore. Listen to Nikki tell you about the Boston Molasses Flood and learn why you shouldn't trust your accountant to build ANYTHING. Ever. And then cleanse your palate with Joyce while she tells us about the London Beer Flood. Not as fun as it sounds.

Welcome to 2021! This week we're talking about feasts that have gone wrong enough to spark war or inspire Game of Thrones.
Joyce gets confusing with the tale of the Percys and the Nevilles and how that impacted the War of the Roses. Or as Joyce calls it - The English Flower War.
Nikki brings the sads (and the really horrible Irish accents) with the betrayal of Clandeboye. Apologies to Ireland, just in general, for this one.

We're sneaking back into your earholes with a VERY belated episode about people who maybe aren't what they seem. Nikki talks about the Chevalier d'Eon who essentially wrote the first gossip blog. Meanwhile Joyce tries her hardest not to crowd the mushrooms and channels the great Julia Child, an OG secret squirrel - many accents were butchered in the making of this episode.

Happy Thanksgiving witches! It's a sciency witchy woman this week. And honestly, this lass is goals! Joyce tells us about the "satanic wiles" of Hypatia who just couldn't stay away from the "magic". Read: she was smart and pretty so must be a witch and had to go. Classic dude manoeuvre.

This week we're talking Coups! Nikki discussed Australias only military coup, the inaccurately named Rum Rebellion. And Joyce talks about that time England executed their King in Prides Purge.

You’re glowing! But in a creepy way. This week we’re getting into the Halloween spirit with a chat about creepy kids. Nikki talks about the possession of Elizabeth Knapp and how she beat the demon menopause. And Joyce introduces you to some spare goblins. Oh, but they’re children. And they glow. And they may lead to madness.

Well kids, this is fun and gross. This week we're talking grisly archaeological finds! Joyce gets gross about bog bodies and she outs herself as a die hard trekkie. Meanwhile Nikki talks about a prehistoric house full of skeletons that was unearthed in China back in 2011.
