Episode 137 - 'The Tale of Two Spiders'

*Full uncut version on Patreon*This week on The Padded Cell Podcast, Vicky is joined by returning favourite Sisi Wednesday for an episode that wanders gloriously off the rails.Fresh from Florence, Sisi shares stories from her travels, including pasta masterclasses, Italian traditions, and standing face-to-face with some of history's greatest artistic treasures. That leads neatly into a fascinating deep dive into Michelangelo, the Sistine Chapel, and the surprising story behind one of its most famous figures.Elsewhere, Vicky takes aim at the lack of recognition for independent podcasters, celebrates the legacy of pioneering sex educator Dr Ruth, and explores the unexpected role that the adult entertainment industry played in the VHS versus Betamax format war.The conversation then drifts into cats, spiders, taxidermy, lost childhood photographs, and listen out for THE BEST spider names EVER!If that wasn't enough, the pair discuss the spiritual origins of chiropractic treatment, the growing impact of artificial intelligence on modern life, and finish with a Fetish Factoid that Vicky can relate to. Educational, ridiculous, informative, chaotic and completely unpredictable... just another day in The Padded Cell.▶︎ Support us on Patreon for bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/ThePaddedCellPodcast▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.co.uk▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.store Watch  the podcast on YouTube:▶︎ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaddedCellPodcastFollow The Padded Cell for more:▶︎ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551425184285▶︎ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedcell_podcast/?hl=en-gb▶︎ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thepaddedcellpodcastRecorded and Produced by Vicky at The Padded Cell StudiosEp 1 - 120 recorded at: ▶︎ Web - http://www.liverpoolpodcaststudios.com
