    Episode 159: The Castrati

    How far would you go for the possibility of stardom? What would you be willing to... uh... lose? Around the early 1600s a certain trend in church choirs evolved into something of a phenomenon in Italian music and Opera. What followed was a very weird and intense footnote in history that we'll be discussing today. Warm up your voices, Horror Honeys! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Episode 157: Nostradamus

    Things couldn't get any worse... could they? This week we're talking about Nostradamus, the illustrious french astronomer, seer, man about town, etc etc. Was he a highly positioned and powerful quack or the greatest prophet the world has ever known? Well, I guess the jurys still out, unless something else he predicted falls from the sky. Keep your eyes on the stars, Horror Honeys! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Episode 156: The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (feat. Carole Ann Penney)

    Who doesn't love astrology, except its for work, and it might get you fired! This week we've got special guest Carole Ann Penney, a leadership and career coach, talking with us about the shady and not so scientific history of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a personality test that had made its way into boardrooms and hiring rooms, which we all feel pretty uneasy about.

    Episode 155: Sister Wives

    It's happening folks - we've long spoken of Allie's obsession with the long running TLC masterpiece, but today you're hearing it right from the horses mouth: we're talking about Sister Wives. For the blessedly uninitiated, Sister Wives is a reality television series based around the Polygamist Brown family, with Husband Kody and Wives Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn. I don't think anyone would call it a "good show" but that's not why we watch it, right? Say your prayers, Horror Honeys!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You've heard of romance, well this is a little different, and a little more wolf centric, but we all remember twilight don't we? Made famous by a notable fanfiction lawsuit, The Omegaverse has been creeping onto the romance novel scene slowly but surely. Lace up your bodices, horror honeys!  Learn more about your ad choices.
