Reading marginal, minor, and absolutely unread Old and Middle English poetry, paired with a thematically appropriate cocktail.

Kalamazoo Fails II
A live and in-person episode recorded in Kalamazoo Michigan at the International Congress on Medieval Studies featuring Usha Vishnuvajjala, Marty Schichtman, Laurie Finke, S.C. Kaplan, Sarah Baechle, Erin Sweany, and Dana Oswald. Decapitated wolves! Penis pilgrimage! Terrible romance! Fun was had by all.
-
Capture of the Five Boroughs: Political Lackeyism (or how to kiss Edmund's heroic ass)
A mediocre and short (thankfully) Old English encomium for Edmund that confuses Danes and Vikings paired with a rich and potent New York transplant cocktail. And David got one of those cherries he likes.
-
Feast of Tottenham: Impossible Food in a Bad Parody
A barrage of nonsense luxury food items coupled with a surrealist filmic stiff drink.
-
Wulfstan On Isaiah's Visions: David and Matt Wander East Van Breweries
A very special episode we like to call Canterbury Fails Ales Trails: a pilgrimage to several imbiberies punctuated with discussion of a bilingual apocalypto-prophetic wake-up call to the the English who are clearly eyebrow-deep in dissolution (much like the hosts).
-
Bird with Four Feathers: Flimsy Penitential Allegory and Repugnant HubbaBubba Juice
A Middle English bird cries out for mercy, while we suck down the WORST potpourri vanilla chemical peach asscrap
-
Old English Hexameron: Creation and Libation!
Ælfric lays out the first six days of creation--ecotheory, gender, epistemology (according to Coley)--and we have a stunning cocktail and IPA chaser.

Shockingly entertaining.
Cocktail
I need that steeped rose syrup recipe that tastes like David’s great aunt.
Update:
“That part’s dumb.”
