  • sucks since Kenyon left

    This used to be basically the perfect podcast. Shout out to my Gateway Gal, Jessy Majors, for hooking up with these people for a pretty good five-year run. I love the blue humor, and the rapport these three had with each other was infectious.

    Definitely listen to the first 200 episodes or so, they are legit, and all of the live episodes are great as well.

    Kenyon got stupid and had to be done away with, but now the show sucks. Amanda doesn't even try to deliver any meaningful content. I'm stil... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep91 Gossip at the Corpse Cart
Q: How did Aaron become involved with Ghost Wax and Passages, and what does that work bring to the podcast's energy?
Aaron describes his background across acting, audio engineering, and production work on Ghost Wax and Passages, which adds a multi-layered technical and performative energy to the show, helping shape behind-the-scenes discussions and guest interactions.
Ep466 Natural History Crimes
Q: What makes a field blend different from other wine blends?
A field blend ferments all grape varieties together in one tank, rather than blending separate wines later, which makes the wine more terroir-expressive and reliant on the land's balance rather than controlled separation of varieties.
(Uncorked Exclusive) Spooky Lil Bitch: Veterinary Pathologist
Q: What other kinds of case situations do you run into just like day to day?
Cases vary significantly based on species and age, with many older animals being euthanized due to age-related health issues compared to younger animals that need to be assessed on a group basis.
(Uncorked Exclusive) Spooky Lil Bitch: Veterinary Pathologist
Q: Do you have like a cutesy story of how you got into veterinary medicine?
Not so much a specific story, but a series of experiences growing up with animals led her to veterinary medicine, including reading 'All Creatures Great and Small' at age 14.
(Uncorked Exclusive) Spooky Lil Bitch: Veterinary Pathologist
Q: Do you care for sick animals or do you sort of only cut them open and see why they died?
I have only been really cutting open and seeing how they died since I finished my residency in 2023, but I also deal with living animals by getting reports from the clinical team.
