It's time for episode 16! This week KT is taking the lead and doing her big story this week! As a big lover of Mongol and Mongolian culture, KT is covering Genghis (Chinggis) Khan!
Settle in, grab a drink (or herb) of your choice and come hang out with the sisters!
**Content Warning** Being that Genghis Khan is Genghis Khan, there is some brief discussion of the atrocities committed during warfare and conquering, including brief descriptions of deaths and a few references to rape and assault. Listener discretion is advised.

Mentioned in the Stories:
The Growth of the Mongol Empire during and after Genghis Khan
Direct Descendant of Genghis Kahn who was a leader in what is present-day Uzbekistan, Sayyid mir Muhammad Alim Khan
One of KT's favorite metal bands, featuring some sick Mongolian throat singing, The Hu
Author and YouTuber Xiran Jay Zhao, who makes videos on what is culturally right and wrong in different Chinese based movies and shows
*Note* During recording KT refers to Xiran as they/them as well as she. Afterwards, we learned that Xiran is non-binary and their pronouns are they/them. Per their website: "Pronoun Notes : I am non-binary and don’t mind any pronouns casually, but please refer to me as They/Them in official bios."

Lt. Susan Ahn Cuddy, Navy Trailblazer; He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
By the power of Grayskull! We've returned to our usual two story episode!
To celebrate Veterans Day on November 11th, Laurel kicks it off with a story about Lieutenant Susan Ahn Cuddy, who was a woman of a lot of firsts in the United States Navy and Armed Forces! KT then follows it up with the origin story of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! From his beginnings as a hyper-muscled action figure playing the catch-up game in the action figure toy market to his meteoric rise to the top, including the spin-offs and reboots that have happened since!
**Correction: Laurel later talks about her View-Master she had as a kid that was her intro to He-Man...but she's a stoned goober and kept calling it a View Finder...Just so you know, she knows what it really is called...**
