Summary
A whole year has come and gone, and we’ve told a lot of stories. So why not DOUBLE IT? To celebrate Spirits Podcast’s first birthday, we’re giving you 30 myths in as many minutes - we hit almost every continent (fuck you, Antartica), tell stories of warrior goddesses, magma monsters, creepy bears, and why Wario definitely isn’t a Maori deity.
And hey, we want to take a minute to thank you all. We made it a year because of you, our amazing listeners. So, stay creepy & stay cool.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits a boosy dive into myths and legends, where we, two history nerds, get tipsy and discuss |
| 0:05.4 | mythology, legends, and folklore from around the world. I, Julia, bring the expertise, while Amanda |
| 0:10.9 | here brings, well, enthusiasm. Yeah, I get to learn along with you, the listener in every episode, |
| 0:16.4 | as Julia regals us with her tales. And, you know, I just make a lot of Harry Potter references. |
| 0:21.1 | So this week, guys, it is our one year anniversary. |

| 1:04.4 | I'm like, damn, we should do this. |
