Episode 70: Can Your Mom Give Me a Ride Home?

Saints & Witches

We recorded this on America's birthday, but we're discussing a topic neither of us know literally anything about: the Mongol Empire. Liz gives us an overview of the history and culture of the Empire, including Genghis/Chinggis Khan's rise to power and the witchcraft accusations against Fatima Khatun, a favorite of Empress Töregene (spoiler alert: we make it gay, as always). Then, Sarah does a book report on the Ystoria Mongalorum, the journal of the diplomatic mission of Franciscan friar Giovanni (John) of Plano Carpini (The Weenie). Enjoying the podcast?
