In May of 1846, a group of 80-something pioneers set out for California and a new start. The problem is, some con man with an agenda had convinced these folks that he had a shortcut. Along with pretty much every other mishap that you can imagine, this shortcut ended up costing almost half the members of the infamous Donner party their lives. This week, Emily and Sara tell the story of just how one group of people can end up completely f*cked from every direction.

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.

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.

During an investigation into two animal friends from a certain Marvel movie that just came out, Emily stumbled upon a story of Thor making a Frost Giant-sized ass of himself and getting REAL mad about it. This is that story.

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?

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?

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.

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.
