From the studio who brought you the number one podcast, The Pigton Massacre, this is Death Island.

Just a few miles off the Thailand coast, the island of Kotao looks like a postcard.

It's almost like if you were going to imagine a paradise island or draw a picture of one, that's what Kotao looks like.

Young tourists from all over the world visit the pristine beaches and crystal clear water.

But underneath the surface lies something sinister.

A dark cloud who's come over the island and cast its shadow.

Death, mystery and danger.

In the last 20 years dozens of tourists have died mysteriously on the island.

One thing is certain, in this beautiful place, no coast is clear.

Listen to Death Island every Wednesday on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Oh, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello nerds.

This is Let's Talk About Bits Baby.

And I am that host of yours, she who loves euripities with her entire soul.

Live.

Once again, I know that this play is not by euripities and yet here I am making it all about him.

But it really is all about him, even if he had nothing to do with writing it, at least as far as we know.

This week we're diving back into Aristophanes' play, The Thesmaphoria Zoo-Sai, the women at The Thesmaphoria or even the women at the festival.

Yes, it has been translated into very many titles.

Regardless, it's the play about the women's only festival, the one I detailed last week, and where Aristophanes has euripities becoming the subject of the women's eye.

Where we last left off, we met this fictional version of euripities and his father-in-law, Minisilicus.

They've traveled to the Tragedy and Agathons house where euripities hoped to ask him to dress as a woman to infiltrate the festival and convince the women there that they don't want euripities dead.

Because you see, they might want him dead, for how he portrays women in his plays, which is the slander that we will get back to in which we have not seen the end of.
