Mini: Reindeer Games

As a little holiday gift from us to you, Emily made Sara play an educational game! After the first 2 or so minutes, we keep it pretty family-friendly....which is the real gift and all the trivia about reindeer is just a bonus.

Traditional Christmas Food

This year for the holidays, Afternoonified is serving up a buffet of some international Christmas foods! We have festive treats from Mexico, France, Italy, Germany, England, and Norway, and even stop by Wisconsin to see what those weirdos are up to. Come for the food and stay because we're as loud as your conservative uncles but way easier to listen to.

We forgot how to do a podcast so sources are available on request, just know that Wikipedia was very high on the list for this one.

Geoglyphs

Before we had TV, video games, major league sports, books...pretty much anything fun, humans had to do something with their time. For whatever reason, they opted to carve intricate lines into the earth that resembled things such as snakes, horses, and, big naked guys. We're not sure why, but the real fun is guessing, isn't it?

Mini: We've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconut Crabs

If you've never wondered about what the relationship between one of the greatest American aviators and a bunch of horrific crustaceans could possibly be, now might be the time. Was Amelia Earhart really the victim of yet another one of god's nautical mistakes or do we just not have any other good answers for her disappearence?

The Loudun Posessions

After countless stories of fun women being burned at the stake for being witches, we thought it was time to cover a similar story involving a man. As it turns out, it's actually pretty easy to have a powerful member of the clergy tried and executed for witchcraft so long as you have a vindictive Cardinal, a convent full of bored nuns, and a victim who actually is kind of a dick. Needless to say, father Urbaine Grandier was screwed from the very start.

Mini: A 100ft Column of Sand and Whale

One chilly November in 1970, an 8-ton whale washed ashore near Florence, Oregon. While there were probably a couple of different ways this could have been dealt with, the powers that be decided half a ton of dynamite would be the solution to their problem.

Spoiler alert: It was not.

Deep Sea Creatures

Apparently, Emily did something to offend Sara so she is seeking her revenge in the form of a tour of the ocean's depths. With everything from crabs that look like mistakes to some cephalopods that have earned their right to stay, it's a real Sharkcuterie of deep sea nightmares.
