Amphorisode XIV: "The Descent of Inanna"
In Amphorisode XIV, we take the primal descent into the Underworld back to its mythical origins: the Descent of Inanna. Join us for this very special, extended Pride Edition of WGWQ as Dakota tells their favorite myth of all time and it sparks a conversation which covers massive ground from systemic racism and rainbow capitalism to double consciousness and gender nihilism. We laugh, we cry (actually just Dakota but don't mention it), we get deep and we admit the truth: we're all just gay and tired. Plus we finally ask: what do Earth and Water signs actually *do*?

Plus, a lengthy discussion about her marriage to Hades! Tune in for albino girl peekaboo, Cleopatra 2020, the craziest thunderclap of all time and why the discus was just a deadly frisbee!
Also, hear about the time she got into it with Aphrodite over Adonis!

Customer Reviews
Inspiring, wild, fun godtalk
These folx have really exciting conversations and banter based on excellent research and evident passion for the esoteric, the occult, the historic and more- and presented through a lens of queering our assumptions and understanding about deities, cults, spirituality and religions. Ranging from astrology to demons and gods, these are always fun and fascinating. Highly recommend!
Great Podcast, mostly perfect
I have listened to this podcast for a while now. The content is why I have given it five stars. I wish their audio could be fixed because of the issue with recording and mics coming in hot or too soft. I love the banter between Dakota and Vince. (Team Dakota!) 🖤 and generally love the vibe of informative, queer and suffering 0 fools. I have seen other reviews that discussed Daphne as a challenge instead of enjoying their dialogue. I did have some issues getting through episodes where Daphne talks a lot, they were triggering to me and I felt like they often spoke over Dakota and Vince with fairly childish views. ( some comments come off ageist and judgmental. )We are all learning and growing as humans, and I’m sure they are doing their best. It is difficult sometimes to listen to funny, mature views with Dakota and Vince - expecting the best because they have a lot of humor and thoughtfulness interjected, then listen to Daphne. If you can move past that then the podcast is really worthwhile.
Hoping for season 2
I’ve enjoyed your first season and am waiting with bated breath for season two. I gave 4 stars because sometimes the audio is awful. I think if that gets fixed you have a solid 5 stars from me.
