Ominous Origins: The Goddess Ishtar
It’s been a while since we’ve explored ancient mythology, and who better to welcome us back than the supreme goddess of love and war, Ishtar?
After a long delay due to… life… I’m back with an episode that is sort of a shout-out to the origins of this podcast: Ancient Myths! Specifically, we’re going to be talking about Mesopotamia. I really do love this era, and it’s sort of like the origins of all modern cultural lore.
For this episode, we’re diving into the Wonder Woman of ancient history: Ishtar. She was the goddess of love but also war! How cool is that? She’s both a lover and a fighter, which is super badass. Anyway, listen to the episode for all the goodies.

Who Shot That Guy? | The Killing of Scott Guy
New Zealand, 2010 is our setting for today’s episode, for that is where the poor soul known as Scott Guy was unceremoniously gunned down in the driveway of the farm he partly owned. While there were some persons of interest, the police really only ever focused on one suspect: Scott’s brother-in-law, Ewen Macdonald.
Between behavioral issues on Macdonald’s side, and family drama basically everywhere, Ewen was arrested and went to trial for the murder of Scott Guy, but was he found guilty, or is the true culprit still at large to this day? Listen to find out!
