We're back to our study of the Greek gods and goddesses with (probably) six of the second string deities, most of whom ended up even weirder than their parents. There are some objectionable bits involving sexual violence and self-harm in these stories (lookin at YOU Zeus), so please take care when listening.

TWO HUNDRED EPISODES! To celebrate, we decided to bring back some past topics and make them FIGHT to the DEATH (or something like that).

Next up in what is apparently becoming a series we like to call "The women who were overshadowed by an a**hole" is the story of six women who all had one thing in common. Actually, since it was the 16th century in England and they were all upper class, they had a lot of things/relatives in common but the main one was some guy named Henry. In this episode we cover the rise and fall of Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and, Jane Seymour.
