Send a message an d let us know what you think of this episode!In this episode, Ellie chats about inventors that were killed by their own inventions.  She also invented a cocktail AND a drinking game for this episode, folks! What can we say? We’re real Renaissance Women on this podcast.  It’s a good thing we had a drinking game, too because Abby discusses the horrific topics of Imperialism in Africa and the grandson of the Jameson fortune, James Sligo Jameson.  In his exploration, he got up to some nasty things.  What did he do, exactly? Well, you could Google it, OR you COULD listen to this episode and find out!  Both are free, but one is a bit more entertaining than the other (at least, we’d like to think so!).  Content Warnings Episode #72:    Ellie’s Content: death, automobile accidents, drowning, trauma Abby’s Content: colonialism, racism, murder, mutilation, illness, death, cannibalismIn this episode, we’re drinking:Ellie: The Bifurious: Ellie’s Edition™ Abby: Jameson and Ginger Ale Sources: For this episode, Ellie pulled from: The AtlanticHuffington Post Business InsiderAnd Abby’s sources included: Birdnamesforbirds Wikipedia Articles on James Sligo Jameson and Cannibalism in Africa as well as Child Cannibalism in The Congo BasinThe Journals of James JamesonThe Jameson Whiskey WebsiteA Grisly Drop of HistoryThe Jameson AffairFollow us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Youtube: @queersforfearspodcastTwitter/X: @queersfearspodEmail: [email protected] support our show please subscribe, rate, and write reviews wherever you listen to our podcast.  If you’re feeling super generous you can buy us a beer here without any additional commitments, or you can support us on Patreon monthly and get access to all of our spooky  BONUS CONTENT.  🌈👻💀Support the show
