Ravin’ Girls S2 Ep.18: Turkey Cordon Dieu
Episode Summary:
Welcome to Season 2 Episode 18, where we cover Chapters 8-11 of The Dream Thieves!
We discover that Nievita has a strange attraction to a particular body part, that Shannon was blindsided by the Pynch first kiss, and we ask our listeners how they pronounce “Niall”. Find out how the tradition of running moonshine relates to Ronan’s favorite hobby. Find out how Blue got her name, and what folklore tradition Nievita thinks is tied to 300 Fox Way. And your Ravin’ Girls hosts finally reveal their Hogwarts Houses on the podcast… not like anyone is surprised, we’re sure!
DEEP DIVE: The Cultural Influence of the Scots-Irish in Appalachia (from approx. the 45:56 minute mark to 1:09:58, depending on player)
CAUTION: These chapters deal with the aftermath of childhood abuse. Please practice self-care while listening. We love you!
