Ever wondered how a German tavern keeper’s quick thinking during a beer shortage birthed the refreshing beverage we now know as shandy? Pour yourself a Leinenkugels Summer Shandy as we, Kate and Bradley, recount the delightful history behind this summer favorite. Reminisce with us about Bradley's, "Shandy Crew" days and our love for robust beers. This episode is all about blending fun personal anecdotes with a splash of beer history.

Then, travel back in time with us to ancient civilizations and their fascinating practices of fortune-telling. From pendulums and crystals to the Saros cycle used for predicting eclipses, we explore the tools and beliefs that shaped ancient and supernatural worlds. Hear stories about Chinese astronomers and their high-stakes predictions, and even the quirky practice of scatomancy in ancient Egypt. It's a journey of mystical intrigue balanced with a touch of humor and skepticism.

Lastly, we delve into the life of Baba Venga, the blind Bulgarian mystic whose life was as dramatic as her prophecies. Hear about her early life, dramatic events like being swept away by a tornado, and her rise to fame during World War II. We share personal stories intertwined with Venga’s predictions, from personal tragedies to heartwarming moments, and even throw in a few light-hearted tales involving Kate's cat Penny. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride through history, mysticism, and engaging conversations that will keep you hooked till the end.
