| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits podcast, Boozy Dive into Mythology, Legends, and Folklore. Every week we pour |
| 0:05.1 | drink and learn a new story from around the world. I'm Amanda. And I'm Julia. And this, we really made it. It's |
| 0:11.6 | episode 100, the Faye. I can't believe that we've done 100 episodes of this thing. It's kind of |
| 0:17.6 | insane. Why don't we tell the people how Spirits started, Julia was in a terrible dead-end job. You were working in finance. A terrible high-stress job. |
| 0:28.9 | And we were meeting like once or twice a week to get drinks and just like talk about our |
| 0:34.1 | shitty days. And then we decided, hey, you know what we talk about a lot? |
| 0:40.2 | Death, also mythology. Yep. |
| 0:43.3 | Why don't we make a podcast about this? And then we came up with the name and then the rest was |
| 0:48.7 | history. We literally drew the logo on a bar napkin. I wish we had that napkin, but I do not. I have a picture of it |
| 0:55.4 | somewhere on one of my old phones. Actually, probably in the emails to our beautiful, wonderful |
| 0:59.9 | designer, Alison Wakeman. For sure. And then Eric Schneider was like, hey, podcasts, I love them. I'll edit it. |
| 1:05.4 | And I like virtually put my hands on his virtual shoulders because he lives in Ohio and said, Eric, are you serious? |
| 1:12.1 | Are you going to do this? And he was like, yes. And the spirits team was born. Oh, it's amazing. |
| 1:18.2 | It's so, it's so, I'm going to cry. It's fine. And so a hundred episodes and nearly three years later, |
| 1:24.5 | Julia and I get to do this as a living. Eric is working full time in |
| 1:28.5 | digital media, which he was trying to do before. And I can't overstate the ways in which |
| 1:36.0 | this podcast has changed my life. It helps encourage me to come out. It helps encourage me to |
| 1:40.3 | pursue a career I actually liked instead of one that I thought I should be doing. |
| 1:48.6 | And just meeting the most incredible people, our friends, our listeners, our listeners who have become our friends, I just, I'm lost for words. |
| 1:51.5 | And I get to spend every week with you. |
| 1:54.1 | You know what, Julia, you preempted me. |
| 1:56.0 | I was going to do as my recommendation this week, creating a project, just starting it, |
