    About this Episode

    Gather round for our last mini myth of this season, Banshees & Mistletoe!
    Listen as Erin and Meghan talk about the legends of Banshees and how one of them predicted the death of the assassinated King James I of Scotland, plus did you know that mistletoe is actually a parasite?!? We also talk about a connection Meghan found between Lydia Martin and Gnarls Barkley's hit "Crazy", and we have to thank Pliny the Elder this time around for recording an ancient Druids ritual of the cutting of mistletoe to help with infertility. Don't worry, Pliny doesn't get off that easy, we later find out he thought carrying mistletoe in your pocket would help cure seizures.  This was a very silly and fun episode to record, additionally this episode is very special because our own mythology expert edited this masterpiece!
