Happy Halloween! Yabblins, the Drunk Dracula Gals are back with a very special presentation of “Dracula’s Guest” by Bram Stoker. It’s Jonathan Harker at his best (which is pretty bad), a carriage driver who did not sign up for this sh*t, and a wolf that just wants to snuggle. SPECIAL GUEST STAR BANDIT!

Stupid Stonehenge updates, sacred circles without aliens, and I really have questions about the Kansas City Star. It's just another episode of Hot Drunk News!

I really tried with this episode, but there's not a whole lot that's uplifting in mythology for LGBTQI...and what I thought was going to be just a regular ragey episode turned into...well...you know it's bad when Other Jenn starts dropping F-bombs that aren't in the script.

This is the first and last time we EVER do an April Fool's episode because the joke was on us. Tech issues from beginning to end, and I had to record my end from my phone (apologies for the sound).

Curses are the Hallmark cards of the ancient world. There's one for every occasion. To celebrate NOT Valentine's Day, we're exploring how the ancients used to sh*t-posting about their exes.
