The Welcome to Spirits podcast, a boozy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore.

0:32.8

Every week, we pour a drink and learn a new story from around the world.

0:36.1

I'm Amanda.

0:36.8

And I'm Julia. Now, Amanda,

0:39.0

when I say roundtable, you say what? Um, I say, we dance and over able. We do routines and ballroom

1:44.5

Yes.

And it probably will be the thing that you die with in your home.

1:48.7

Millennials sound off.

1:50.8
