**Content Warning: Hightailing Through History is for mature audiences and this particular episode includes content that is...a little more mature and "dirty" than our usual "mature content." Viewer and listener discretion is advised**

Welcome to the conclusion of our history of sex series! For part two, Laurel snags her best friend, Kelly, to join the Smoke Circle. If you can't chat about sex's incredibly long history with your bestie, who can you talk to?!

In part two, we pick it up in the Age of Enlightenment and finish it out in the present day, discussing the attitudes and practices around sex found in these different eras in time. In addition, our community on social media voted for further getting into bed with other sexual topics like aphrodisiacs, sexual science, erotica and pornography, sex work, contraception and sexual hygiene.

Get cozy--with yourself or someone you love--and join us in the Smoke Circle for a wild ride through sexual history!

Still with us after episode 10?! Gee, thanks!

In this episode, we are catching up on important events in September: Latinx Heritage Month and September 11th. First, Laurel talks about the life, love and art of Mexican icon Frida Kahlo. KT follows up with the tale of the brave individuals on United Flight 93 on September 11th, 2001.

**Content Warning** Both of our stories contain some very specific themes and content that might be triggering or upsetting to some listeners. The Frida Kahlo story discusses suicide, depression and frequent mentions of miscarriages and medical abortions. The United 93 story recounts the details of the September 11th attacks and hijacking of the flight. Listener discretion is advised.

Let's get spooky! In our final episode of a very long season one, we cover a long-running mystery called the Tunguska Event. Over 100 years ago, the Earth experienced the largest impact of a cosmic body in modern human history...but no impact was found...

Next, Kt takes us on a field trip through England to visit castles with eerie history--complete with ghost sightings, hell hounds and lined up shots of fluid containing human remains...ew.

This is our final episode of season 1! We will have a six week break and will be back on December 1, 2023!

Genghis (Chinggis) Khan

Hightailing Through History

play

11/05/21 • 74 min

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."

It's October 1st and you know what that means, party people! It's spooky season! All month long, we are going to be sharing tales of creepy history and today we kick it off with two people in history who created the iconic Frankenstein's Monster and Count Dracula--both directly and indirectly, respectively. That's right, we are discussing Mary Shelley and her novel Frankenstein Or, A Modern Prometheus as well as Vlad the Impaler and Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula.

**Content Warning** Mary Shelley's story deals with a lot of loss surrounding children and suicide. Vlad the Impaler is just gruesome. Listener discretion is advised

10/08/21 • 94 min

Welcome back! Episode 13 is here and it is a spooky one!

After changing the rules from rock, paper, scissor to bottle, (cannabis) leaf and grinder, KT starts us out with the original werewolf tale: The Beast of Gévaudan which takes place in France in the 1760s. Laurel follows it up with a listener voted topic of stories from "cursed" movie sets. Do you think they are actually cursed or is it just a series of unfortunate coincidences?

Welcome back!

We're one episode away from TEN! As usual, we've got a spot saved for you, however, this time KT insists that it will be her lap...

We start with Laurel's story about Thocmetony, later named Sarah Winnemucca, who was a Northern Paiute educator, author and advocate for her people. She lived a hard life walking between two worlds with critics on both sides. After leaving Western America in the 1800s, KT takes us north to Canada and then to England during World War I where we learn the heartwarming story of the real Winnie the bear, who inspired A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh series! The nostalgia FLOWS!
