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 Julia is taking a much-deserved break, so it's just me telling you about episode 2.29 Erdstalls. I loved this conversation. Julia and I recorded it last week, and I spent the rest of the weekend, like Googling this topic, looking up pictures, looking up examples, reading Reddit threads. I really went down a rabbit hole, and I spent the rest of the weekend, like, Googling this topic, looking up pictures,

looking up examples, reading Reddit threads. I really went down a rabbit hole and I think,

or down an earth stall, as you're soon going to know, and I think you will be as well.

But first, I would like to welcome our newest patrons, Matthew, Jennifer, pointing cat,

Catherine, and Alexa, who I would definitely follow down into an Earth stall, I think, and our supporting producer-level patrons who would make sure that I do not get caught and

that I have exactly the materials and supplies I need to get out.

Alicia, Allison, Brian, Deborah, Hannah, Jane, Jessica Kess, Jessica S, Justin Keegan,

Neaselkins, Liz, Megan Linger, Megan Moon, Phil Fresh, Polly, Captain Jonathan, Malachi, Cosmos, Sana, Sarah, Scott, Skyla, and Zazi.

Now, Sana, Sarah, and Scott, as I go through the different vowel pronunciations of your names, I just want to thank you three in particular because I try really hard to get it right. And our legend level patrons finally, Audra, Drew, Jack Marie, Key, Lata, Morgan, Necro, Royalty, Renegade, Sammy Todd, and BME up Scotty. We're so grateful for

all of you. You make it possible for this to be our jobs. And in fact, this week, I just wanted to

remind everybody that our Patreon starts at just a dollar an episode. That's a handful of dollars a month. That's probably less than a latte costs near you.

And that support goes a huge way toward helping us make sure we can keep making the show.

In fact, we just passed 400 patrons, meaning that's right, we are working on a spirits tarot deck.

We could not be more excited. We could not do this without your support. And in case you're curious, the next Spirit's patron goal is at 6,666

patrons, I will fully buy a castle in Ireland. So just to let you know, like, that is on the table

here. I will fully buy a castle in Ireland and we'll post photos of it. Maybe you can visit. Who

knows? That is very exciting. And the fact that we can be in our sixth year past our five year

anniversary of doing this podcast,

continue to get new folks supporting us, and old folks who have been there since pretty much

year one, we're just so grateful for it. So if you have a few bucks a month to spare, to support any

creators, I think that's awesome. If you choose for one of those creators to be us, we're very,

very grateful. And you can go to patreon.com slash spirits podcast to get extras like bonus urban
