Summary
This week, we take a trip back to the Pacific to tell the story of Madame Pele, the Earth-Eating Woman, and Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. We chat about mythology as history, the cutest names in mythology, the history of hula hoops, and how you can find some hair of the goddess whenever a volcano erupts.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits podcast to Boosy Dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. |
| 0:03.8 | Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
| 0:07.1 | I'm Amanda. |
| 0:07.6 | And I'm Julia. |
| 0:08.6 | And this is episode 91, Pele. |
| 0:11.2 | Yeah, this is, I'm excited to kind of wrap up summer with a slightly more tropical themed myth. |
| 0:18.2 | And I think it's appropriate since it has been just so, so hot the past |
| 0:23.6 | couple days. It's true, but it really does put into perspective that we're not living in a |
| 0:27.9 | literal volcano. So it was good to remember that things could be more intense than they have |
| 0:33.0 | currently been in New York City. That does help quite a bit. Similarly, intense, but in a very good way, |
| 0:38.6 | our new patrons, Elisa, Gabrielle, and Lorraine, as well as our supporting producer-level patrons, |

| 0:58.9 | happy to pour a drink metaphorically and also at some point literally at a future live show for our |
| 1:04.4 | legend level patrons. These folks get stuff in the mail from us every single month, which now |
| 1:09.1 | includes a quarterly box from shaker and spoon. |
| 1:11.8 | So there's custom cocktail stuff, there's syrups, there's citrus things to make your |
| 1:16.4 | cocktails with and recipes. It's so great. And we are really excited to send next month's |
| 1:21.4 | box to Cassie, Sandra, Audra, Mercedes, Jack Marie, and Leanne. Yeah, and actually, the drink that we drank for this episode was inspired by one of the |
| 1:32.9 | recipes that Chekern Spoon sent me like two months ago. |
| 1:36.3 | I love it when a good sponsor comes together, and you guys will hear a little bit more about |
| 1:40.7 | those drinks in the actual episode. |
