Season 3: Episode 8 - When Did I Become Attracted to Dragons?

Hello, fellow nerds! This week’s podcast episode and read-a-long is of the second half of Kimberly Lemming’s “That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon”, Chapters 9-Epilogue! This is episode two of two of the read-a-long of this book. The author joins us to answer our deep seated questions and for our discussion on the differences between dragon species, and how violence has been used in the past in the name of religion. TW: This episode was recorded before the extreme violence between Israel and Palestine that took place on October 7. This episode may be triggering for some listeners as we discuss religious conflict, even though the current state of affairs is not mentioned.  Drink up "Our Nerdiest Cocktail" named "Demon Aid".
