| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits Podcast, a boozy diamond to mythology, legends, and folklore. |
| 0:11.5 | Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
| 0:14.6 | I'm Amanda. |
| 0:15.1 | And I'm Julia. |
| 0:16.1 | And this episode 277, Aries, as part of our It's All Greek to Me series. |

| 1:11.8 | Ram? |
