Summary
After years of doing Spirits, Julia is once again putting Amanda to the test to see what she’s learned. This time, Amanda must decide whether a mythological story ends in a Trick or a Treat with the help of our Witches Three: Eric Silver, Mike Schubert, and Brandon Grugle.
This week, Amanda recommends Over the Top by Jonathan Van Ness.
Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about drinking, witchcraft, religious persecution, infant death, theft, natural disasters, animal attacks, car accidents, childbirth complications, and fire/death.

| 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 158, trick or treat, live from WBUR City Space. It was so nice to be back in Boston, my college town. Yeah. The home of my mistaken years. And I think this is a really good example of why I'm so |
| 0:24.3 | stoked to be a part of multitude because we had a big meeting where we were all talking about |
| 0:28.2 | things to do at the live show, like as our multitude live segments. And this idea would never have |
| 0:33.7 | occurred to any of us on our own. So I love that it started as a pun and then it grew |
| 0:39.4 | into a very fun segment that I hope all of you enjoy. Yeah, I'm hoping that we'll be able to do it |
| 0:44.3 | again at other live shows, but it was really nice to kind of test the waters, see what people thought |
| 0:50.3 | of it. And it was a blast. I hope you enjoyed yourself, Amanda, since you were the contestant |
| 0:55.5 | in the situation. I did. I really enjoyed telling everybody else when to talk and went to let me opine. |
| 1:01.5 | It felt great. Correct. As you always should. Do you know what else just feels really right, Julia? |
| 1:06.3 | Our new patrons? Having our new patrons with us, Sutton, Alice, Alice, Alice, Ali and Leroy, |
| 1:12.9 | Haley, Marrow, and Hannah. Welcome. Welcome. You join the ranks of our fantastic phenomenal |
| 1:18.7 | supporting producer-level patrons, Philip, Megan, Deborah, Molly, Skyla, Samantha, Sammy, |
| 1:24.6 | Josie, Neil, Jessica, and Phil Frisch. Love it. You are also among the distinguished ranks of our legend-level patrons who every month get a physical gift in the mail from Julia, Eric, and me. |
| 1:36.4 | Kylie, Hannah, Kylo the Husky, Charlotte Morgan, Emily, James, B.M. M.Yap, Scotty, Audra, Chris, Mark, Cody, Mr. Folk, Sarah, and Jack Marie. |
| 1:44.4 | It always makes me happy thinking about those names. I'm like, ah, yes, my friends. |
| 1:48.5 | My friends. Who I send mail to every month. It's really sweet. |
| 1:51.7 | They're like pen pals, but for the modern era. |
| 1:54.8 | Julian, remind us on this blustery October day what we were drinking. So shout out to city space because they bought us this incredible |
| 2:01.2 | variety pack of Boston craft beers, which I was like, ah, yes, my home, my sweet, sweet home. |
| 2:05.9 | But if you want to get a taste of my personal Bostonian college experiences, you have to try |
| 2:12.0 | the Back Bay Basic. It is a classic from Stephanie's on Newbury Street, which I would always go to a little bit hungover when my parents were in town for brunch. |
| 2:21.3 | And the Back Bay classic was vodka, St. Germain, lime juice, and then it was topped with Prosecco. |
