Ep. 30 – An Aggressive Family Christmas The Booze + Spirits Podcast

It's a Christmas miracle! A new episode of The Booze + Spirits Podcast! Finally, the episode recorded in December 2021 is available in December 2022 (we make no promise to be timely with our jokes, references, or new stories). And it's getting Dickensian in here, as we pick tell stories inspired by Scrooge's famous ghosts: Caity takes up to the past of cannibalistic European satanists in a story she only discovered in her present, Mel tells us about present ghosts (by rehashing the past in stories we told last year), and Nick tells us of how Sharon Tate in the past saw her own future in the ghost that predicted her future. Honestly, this whole episode is chronally instable. You can find the recipe for Manson Christmas Punch here. Like the podcast? Want more? Tell a friend!
