Hello and welcome back to BigMood, LittleMood. I am your host, Daniel M. Levery.

And with me in the studio this week are two guests, Anna Rubanova, who is a writer, producer,

animator, and voice actor based in Los Angeles. And Adam Bozarth, also a writer,

producer, animator, and voice actor based in Los Angeles. Anna and Adam are both founding

members of the sketch comedy group left-handed radio. And they are both producers at the Forever

Dog podcast network. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having us.

This is going to be fun. I am very much looking forward to this and I can only hope that your

sketch comedy group is either referring to the work of Alistair Crowley or even better

the European tradition of Morganatic marriages. Either way, I'm happy with it.

It is just a reference to just general sinisterness in general, but can you actually

expound upon the Morganic marriages a little bit more just to educate us?

I would be happy to, based on my incredibly cursory understanding of what Morganatic marriages

are, which is sometimes they have also been referred to as left-handed marriages. And they

refer to usually a monarch marrying somebody who is not either of royal or noble blood in such a way

that it's like written into law that this person is not going to be co-regnant. This person's

children are not going to inherit anything in terms of the order of succession. This is a legal

marriage, but just barely. It's like a step between having a formal mistress versus a wife who

is a queen as well. I just think it's a great phrase. They were married according to the tradition

of the left hand. That's amazing. We're vaguely aware of what left-handed refers to historically.
