Episode 19: Deadwood. Do You Even Fester, BRUH?
<p>In this episode, we explore historic Deadwood and some of the peeps who have lived and died — and lived on — in this Wild West town. Made famous during the Gold Rush, this settlement became a city that “played by its own rules,” which means no rules. An entire city block was occupied by nothing but brothels, and prostitution was legal until the 1980s.</p> <p>If you lived and/or died in Deadwood, you had to have a cool nickname. We discuss Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Poker Alice, and Potato Creek Johnny, and the resting place for most of them: Mount Moriah Cemetery.</p> <p>Deadwood is a cool place to visit today, so check out our episode and, for patrons, the forthcoming snack and beverage pairing and travel itinerary!</p> <p>This is our last episode of Season 1. We’re going on SUMMER BREAK, so we’ll catch you in the fall when LEAF FALL DOWN.</p>

Episode 18: The Bermuda Triangle. Please Affix Your Tin Foil Hat Before Helping Your Child.
<p>Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle and to allergy season! Jen and Kristin debate what the best flavor cold and flu medication is, whether colors are flavors, and how we survived to adulthood as children of the late 80s and early 90s.</p> <p>There are some things it seems we have inherent knowledge of: Quicksand, who the villain in Scooby-Doo would be, and the Bermuda Triangle are the top three. Maybe the knowledge was implanted there by the ancient Atlanteans or aliens, or maybe it was our recent COVID-19 vaccines, but it seems like the Bermuda Triangle has always been part of our brains.</p> <p>We review some of the weird disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, as well as the most popular theories that apparently cause them. Sit back and enjoy, unless you’re in the Bermuda Triangle, in which case, KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU.</p>

Episode 17: Mackinac Island. Get Your Fudge and Get the Fuck out
<p>Jen and Kristin hang a hard right and head up to Michigan’s Mackinac Island, home of turtles, a thriving fudge business, and GHOSTS. Like everywhere else in the Americas, it was home to Native Americans long before white people came and messed everything up. In fact, it is said to be home to the great spirit, Gitche Manitou, and the first land that appeared after the great flood receded.</p> <p>The only state highway on the island is a loop (because it’s an ISLAND, BABE), and the island doesn’t allow cars except for emergency vehicles. Tourists are sometimes referred to as “fudgies” and Mackinac Island fudge is said to be amazing (Jen confirms). You have to get there by seaplane, ferry, or a highway ICE BRIDGE made of Christmas trees during the winter, which is rad.</p> <p>The island is the site of many hauntings, including at a forced reeducation school for Native American and Meite children. One of the child ghosts is nicknamed “Lucy” and is said to follow people around, especially at Crow’s Nest Trail. You can sleep in the Grand Hotel...on top of a Native American burial ground. Or chill with a black mass who might knock you out… for a few days.</p> <p>Or maybe just buy some fudge and get the fuck out.</p> <p>PS, check out Jen’s books <a href="https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Search?searchtext=billock&searchmode=anyword&searchoption=allbooks&fbclid=IwAR2PWThjgvQwQpJDKi5zmPLNeb0ciFyNZneVpYaAvPVeIqGnAk_Ve85uirw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a> and <a href="https://msupress.org/search-results-grid/?keyword=billock&fbclid=IwAR3titN7NQY8Pp7p_xSW-V_aU1TGjRf226sry7wAMSk4MtxbLhr9VumlUlM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a>!</p>
