| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits Podcast, a boozy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. I'm Amanda. And I'm Julia. And this is episode 105, Rangda. Yeah, I'm actually really excited about this myth. It was sent to us by a listener, which I am always excited when listeners send us suggestions for stories and they're very |
| 0:21.7 | good and they have a lot of information in them. So I am excited to share it with all of you. |
| 0:27.2 | I'm also excited to share my laughter, my life, my joy with our newest patrons, Sarah, |
| 0:34.4 | Tony, Noel, Francis, Rebecca, and Sean, as well as our supporting producer-level |
| 0:39.2 | patrons, Philip, Julie, Christina, Eeyore, Sammy, Marie, Josie, Amara, Neil, Jessica, Phil Fresh, and Deborah, |
| 0:45.9 | and of course, our legend-level patrons. Oh my goodness. Steena, Jordan, Jess, Sarah, Zoe, |
| 0:51.3 | Sandra, Audra, Mercedes, Jack Marie, and Leanne. |

| 1:18.8 | needed acidity, lightness, flavor, and color to our lives. We love you for that. |
| 1:25.3 | Speaking of delicious foods, Julia, tell me about the cocktail you |
| 1:27.9 | were drinking. So I made us a cocktail called an herb and spice. Think of it as kind of like a mojito, |
| 1:34.1 | but with basil and lemon grass instead of mint, and then just a hint of chili on top. I've been |
| 1:39.3 | getting pretty into spicy drinks. It's never been one of my fortes, but I had a like tequila, |
| 1:47.1 | mescal-based palapino involved drink recently. And it was so good. So I'm getting into that chili floater. I'm into it. |
| 1:53.2 | Heck yeah. I'm glad. Spicy drinks are my fave. Do you know what else is my fave, Amanda? |
| 1:58.2 | What? So I just started a new podcast and it's called Wild |
